 Cool.

I saw the new FTL code uses 2.3 style module initialization, and so does
my mtdram code. Are we targeting only 2.3, or should we add some kludges
to support older versions?

I'm mostly interested in 2.4 (and 2.5) stuff, as I hope we can get MTD
included in the 2.5 release cycle. Also much of the API (i.e. modules) is
cleaner in 2.3.
