Sorry, I still feel a little bit unsure. Could you please test it
like this:

1. Compile nandwrite1 which excludes these 4 changes;
2. Compile nandwrite2 which includes these 4 changes;
3. Make sure things which work with nandwrite1 also work with
   nandwrite2. Namely:
   a. writing an image
   b. writing an image from stdin
   c. writing an image with oob
   d. writing an image with oob with stdin
4. Then test how nandwrite2 reacts on badblocks - use the 'weakblocks'
   parameter of nandsim for this (see modinfo nandsim).
5. Test now nandwrite2 reacts on write failures - use 'weakpages'
   nandsim argument

Could this please be done to make sure nandwrite does not have
regressions but only has improvement? Sorry for being PITA.

Thanks!
