2.6.10. I've got the patch to yaffs which suppresses simultaneous
read/write of data and tags but it's determined by the compile-time
option which is not nice.
If we were able to determine by any means that yaffs is running over
onenand and not normal nand, we could do it at runtime. That might be a
good start.
