OneNAND stuff which we have now is _part of MTD_. MTD has its interface,
its model of the device. As long as we are part of this infrastructure,
we have to obey MTD's interface, rules and restrictions.

The whole idea of MTD is to make upper layers to access flashes in a
uniform layer. MTD achieves this at certain extent. There are flaws, but
anyway. So basically OneNAND implements more then NAND in this OOB
handling stuff. And it is bad. It encourages other people to write
OneNAND-only software, incompatible with NAND, which is totally
unreasonable in this case.
