IMO, it would be much saner to do the following:

Change JFFS2 and introduce I/O abstraction to it. E.g., add an io.c file
with basic I/O functions like
jffs2_read()/jffs2_write()/jffs2_point()/jffs2_erase(). Then you could
add different I/O back-ends, like UBI. Note, even now we already have 2
I/O back-ends: MTD and eCos. Then it would be a matter of adding one
more I/O back-end - UBI.
