Hi,

Here I send out the revised "eraseblock header" patch.
Two main changes compared with my first patch are made:
1 According to Joern's comment, we add 3 new fields into
struct jffs2_eraseblock_header for the compatibility purpose.
2 Add the code to support eraseblock summary, so that now EBH
can work with EBS. Fenenc, would you please help review this
part of code? Thanks.

According to the comments from mailing list, one problem is
still open:
Whether should we set the compat flag of eraseblock_header to
RWCOMPAT_DELETE or INCOMPAT? 
Now in my patch I still set the compat flag of eraseblock_header
to INCOMPAT. After the final decision is made, I can modify
the patch accordingly.

Your comments for the revised patch are welcome :)

Thanks,
Forrest
