Well, the big problem is that it simply cannot detect an empty card (with
no CIS) - I've watched QNX do it so I know it can be done, and I'm pretty
sure they rely on CFI or JEDEC ID flash methods [which is exactly what the
mapped flash driver implements]. There were a few other weird things I had
happen to me while futzing with that, but have forgotten many of the
details.
