jffs2_do_reserve_space

[Mike Schumi]

David,

 The Flash starts at 0x0 phys and has a firmware bootloader pre-configured in (has its own header too). 
Then the Flash Loader I'm using adds a 0x40 header to the beginning of every binary image loaded to flash. It adds 0x40 to the Linux Loader (blob), Kernel, and jffs2.  

I got confused by your emails!?! is this causing the problem we are seeing or its only causing the printks and sanity checks?! 
 If its only causing the sanity checks to appear, its fine for now (I'll fix the loader later on). But if its the cause of the kernel panic let me know.  
 When I add your patch (stable) I get:

VFS: Mounted root (jffs2 filesystem).
Freeing init memory: 72K
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

Another question? why does the jffs do a sanity check on all flash when I'm only loading /dev/mtdblock2? Is there a way to make it not do so and only do so on the jffs2 image which I can download later without a 0x40 header?
