Yeah -- coupled with sanity checking every existing file on the file system 
at every remount, etc. And make them _real_ powerfaults, with an X10 
controller or something. You get really weird behaviour out of flash chips 
that way -- which we should deal with just fine.

If you're going to report any faults, it's best to do the testing with 
CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_DEBUG=1 and _logging_ the kernel messages over a serial 
port. But that of course slows down the test run. YMMV. A 230400 baud 
serial console helps :)
