Following problems are addressed:

- wrong status caused early break out of nand_wait()
- removed the bogus status check in nand_wait() which
  is a relict of the abandoned support for interrupted
  erase.
- status check moved to the correct place in read_oob
- oob support for syndrom based ecc with strange layouts
- use given offset in the AUTOOOB based oob operations

Partially based on a patch from Vitaly Vool <vwool@ru.mvista.com>
Thanks to Savin Zlobec <savin@epico.si> for tracking down the
status problem.

The nand_oobinfo structure is not fitting the newer error correction
demands anymore. Replace it by struct nand_ecclayout and fixup the users
all over the place. Keep the nand_oobinfo based ioctl for user space
compability reasons.

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.

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!
