I don't think this feature is going to work very well as-is.
To make this effective in real life, I think I'll have to add in an
option to read in a binary file, which is written to flash after
erase.
Only those erase blocks which changed should be
erased + written.
The cleanmarkers would be written for erase blocks after
the end of the binary file.
This fixes two things: even faster for blocks that don't change,
if the cleanmarker is not supposed to be there for certain
blocks, then it will currently fail.
