Yeah.

We should re-work whole MTD and make it use (eraseblock number):(offset
withing eraseblock) addresses, instead of absolute offsets. This implies
changing interfaces. For the in-kernel ones it is not a problem. For the
userspace ones it is. I guess we should just invent new userspace API,
while preserving the old one. This is a great opportunity to dispose of
ancient junk at once.
