[PATCH] OneNAND: Simple Bad Block handling support

Hi Kyungmin,

please let me bother you with another question.
It's about scanning for bad blocks during reading/writing flash (/* TODO 
handling oob */...)
What's the possibility of having a bad block at r/w? OneNAND spec isn't 
very extensive regarding handling bad blocks beside the initial scan. 
Which things must/should be done by the flash driver, which ones by the 
file system in this case?
I would be very grateful if you could give me a brief outline, I'm 
afraid BBM is a bit "too new" for us because we are used to operate on 
plain NOR... :-)

Thanks,
Bernhard


PS: Kyungmin, sorry for double mail
