Removable flash storage

Hello all.
I am working with a device that has 3 nand flash slots, two are internal
and not removable, one is external and is removable.
We currently have a single driver that registers partitions on each card
at kernel boot time. All three cards work, and we use yaffs as a
filesystem on top of MTD.
I am trying to come up with a clean way of allowing the external card to
be inserted/removed at runtime.
One solution is to have a seperate nand driver for that card & build it
as a module, then simply modprobe/rmmod. However, that solution isn't
so great because we then have two driver source files that are
essentially the same.
We also thought that a /proc based solution might work, where you write
"eject 3" or something to /proc/mtd.
What will play nicest with MTD as it stands? If I need to break the
driver up, is there any suggestions for minimising code duplication?
Cheers
Brad
