Hi,

I've instrumented my kernel a bit and found that the reads are being
caused by calls to jffs2_follow_link (in order to resolve the sym links
for the libraries needed to load sleep)... 

It's been pointed out to me that the jffs list might be a better place
so I'll take this there... 

Thanks,
Ian.
