Dunno. In general, interrupt-driven operation is an advantage over
polling -- it lets us get on with something else while we're waiting for
the flash, and come straight back to the flash driver when it's done.
Given the latencies involved on NAND, though, it might not really be
worth the effort -- but I'd like to investigate.
