Let's not attempt the abolition of mtd->type until/unless it's properly
thought through. And certainly, let's not do it by halves.

Ram devices get the extra capability of MTD_NO_ERASE - not requiring
an explicit erase before writing to it.  Currently only mtdblock uses
this capability.  Rest of the patch is a simple text replacement.

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!
