i believe there was a thread on this list some time ago about how
forcing all maps to declare support partition types sucks.  be nice if
there was a mtd function to probe all available maps so we wouldnt
have to copy & paste this #ifdef mess everywhere.

me thinks you just broke support when redboot is a module.
cmdlinepart isnt allowed to be a module via Kconfig, but ar7 can be.
