And I just rewrote that part of the code too :)

No, it seems like a good idea. It'll let us drop half of cfi_cmdset_0020
too.

Once I've done some testing on the new interleave / map access code I
was planning to send an update to Linus this week. That _really_ needs
to happen this week, so if you're going to do this then either do it
today, or wait a month. Personally I favour the former -- the whole
thing needs testing now anyway.

Can you get to #mtd on irc.freenode.net?
