1. Rendering the utils unusable for older kernels is wrong.

Its simple to handle this in the utils depending on the functionality
which is exposed by the kernel.


2. Your current approach prevents me to
- dump the raw flash content including OOB data
- write a nand image with given oob data

This is essential for troubleshooting and must still be possible
somehow.
