Except that the block device is quite a lot of unnecessary overhead (and a 
kernel thread, etc.). Reading directly from the MTD device rather than 
through either the blockdevice or chardevice would be nicer. 

Actually, for 2.4 I'd like to be able to extract a tarball from an MTD 
device directly into ramfs rather than ramdisk. CONFIG_BLK_DEV=n
