202 Although most flash chips have an erase size too large to be useful
203 as block devices, it is possible to use MTD devices which are based
204 on RAM chips in this manner. This block device is a user of MTD
205 devices performing that function.
206
207 At the moment, it is also required for the Journalling Flash File
208 System(s) to obtain a handle on the MTD device when it's mounted
209 (although JFFS and JFFS2 don't actually use any of the functionality
210 of the mtdblock device).
211
212 Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles
213 on flash chips to emulate a smaller block size. Needless to say,
214 this is very unsafe, but could be useful for file systems which are
