Yes and no.  It makes sense for any flash device that you can't write to
the same page multiple times without an erase in between.  NAND is
certainly the largest group of such devices.  There are others that have
this behavior as well.  See cfi_cmdset_0020.c.

Although, JFFS2 doesn't support those chips right now, so I guess I am
just rambling :).
