How does one mount an existing jffs2 partition so it is writeable?

You have a different flavor flash.  My platform uses Intel C3
StrataFlash parts.  The flash is completely locked after any power
cycle.   If I don't unlock the jffs2 partition somehow someway, I can't
write to it.

I suppose we could add yet another mount option for this
("really_and_truly_rw"!).
