The version of OpenFirmware which we use on OLPC has JFFS2 support. And
eCos also has JFFS2 support, which means that RedBoot does too.

If you build using -ffunction-sections --gc-sections (as eCos/RedBoot
does), and if you never call the write functions, a huge amount of JFFS2
just drops out of the build.
