I didn't do the 16-bit stuff yet - use just one chip at this time. when i
try to mount the jffs2 fisesystem, i get a loong delay; with debug
enabled, it seems that it scans the device for freespace markers or
something; After that, is mounts the filesystem, shows the right amount of
free space, but when i write to it, the changes are not maintained over a
remount or reboot.

But i'm just thinking: the ppc is big endian; maybe i must set the option
on mkfs?
