For page wise allocation, an array of flash page pointers is allocated
during initialization. The flash pages are themselves allocated when a
write occurs to the page. The flash pages are deallocated when they
are erased.

This patch removes code that does chip mapping. The chip mapping code
is no longer used.

The previous change of the command / hardware control allows to
remove the write_byte/word functions completely, as their only
user were nand_command and nand_command_lp.

The hwcontrol function enforced a step by step state machine
for any kind of hardware chip access. Let the hardware driver
know which control bits are set and inform it about a change
of the control lines. Let the hardware driver write out the
command and address bytes directly. This gives a peformance
advantage for address bus controlled chips and simplifies the
quirks in the hardware drivers.

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.

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.

This patch contains the following possible cleanups:
- every file should #include the headers containing the prototypes for
  it's global functions
- make needlessly global functions static

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!
