The complete_and_exit() problem I experienced was fixed in the 2.4.9 AC
kernel by adding the wait queue head initialization just before forking the
GC thread in jffs2_start_garbage_collect_thread(). That fixed the crashing
GC thread problem in unmount.
I haven't tried copying mtd CVS files over Linus kernels but on current
AC kernels straight copying won't work. At least it will complain about
missing up_and_exit().
