Nor flashes are usually attached to the memory bus. If something else
is possible as well, I don't know about it.
Nand comes in many varieties, attached via ide, pcmcia, ..., never to
a memory bus directly. But at least, all of those systems do have a
memory bus, so the patch is not completely wrong here.
