The because lib/lib.a is a library, objects which aren't referenced are 
not pulled in to your vmlinux binary. If nothing in the kernel image 
itself uses zlib_inflate or zlib_deflate, they need to be built as 
modules too.

Yes but then you'll have two separate MTD devices, although you can use 
the 'mtdconcat' code to merge them into one. You can also write your own 
map driver which ioremaps both and translates access requests from the 
chip driver so that offsets 0->0x1ffffff go to the first one at 
0x10000000, and offsets 0x2000000->0x3ffffff go to the second one at 
0x20000000.
