/proc is nicer, if we really have to do it. How about /proc/driver/mtd/$n,
each one containing something along the lines of...

name: "blah"
size: 0x1000000
erasesize: 0x10000

The standard lines can be provided by a generic function, and we add a
proc_filler method to the mtd_info stucture which overrides that to allow
you to do whatever else you want.

Actually, mtdfs is probably nicer than adding yet more cruft to /proc.
