That's entirely dependent on the driver. In general, interrupts _shouldn't_ 
be disabled. They aren't disabled in the cfi_cmdset_000[12] drivers.

The erase method may sleep. And it may return immediately, calling the 
erase completion callback later, from a timer. That isn't implemented yet. 
Of course, it's entirely permitted to do both.

Yes, it should do. It's up the the application to work out the the sector 
in question was partially erased and erase it properly. See the marker 
nodes in JFFS2.
