First step of modularizing ECC support.
- Move ECC related functionality into a seperate embedded data structure
- Get rid of the hardware dependend constants to simplify new ECC models

At least two flashes exists that have the concept of a minimum write unit,
similar to NAND pages, but no other NAND characteristics. Therefore, rename
the minimum write unit to "writesize" for all flashes, including NAND.

We all inherited the same error from the original NAND board driver which
got copied and changed. Fix them all at once...

The _board_ driver needs to be mtd->owner, and it in turn pins the
nand.ko module. Fix them all to actually do that, and fix nand.ko not to
overwrite it -- and also to check that the caller sets it, if the caller
is a module.

ICC likes to complain about storage class not being first, GCC doesn't
care much (except for cases like "inline static").
have a hard time seeing how it could break anything.
Thanks to Gabriel A. Devenyi for pointing out
http://linuxicc.sourceforge.net/ which is what made me create this patch.

Added routine to perform extra error status checks on erase and write
failures to determine if errors are correctable.
Added option to prevent JFFS2 from using virtual erase blocks.
Performed minor cleanup on whitespace and comments.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
