That's why we _also_ have the flags, and why we abstract that still
further in application-specific code, like jffs2_can_mark_obsolete()

But you seem to want to kill _both_ the type _and_ the flag -- you say
that you want the MTD_KF_NOR_WBUF_FLASH flag to go away. So explain --
what do you want to do instead?
