[PATCH 00/10] nandwrite: cleanup, support ioctl(MEMWRITE)

[Brian Norris]

This patch series cleans up old features in nandwrite and supports new
features with ioctl(MEMWRITE).

Byproducts of this include:
(1) kill --raw
(2) re-implement --autoplace
(3) support OOB writes for MLC NAND (only write once per page)

(1) is done because it's difficult to really tell the reason for --raw
in the first place. Thus, in restructuring mtd_write and nandwrite, I
cannot support it. I don't think anyone will miss it.
(2) is done just because we can. Previously, support for the autoplace
OOB layout was spotty, depended on the obsolete ioctl(MEMGETOOBSEL), and
utilized user-space code to imitate an internal kernel interface. Old
code can be supported with little impact by pushing it to a "legacy"
function and supporting autoplacement primarily by way of the new
ioctl(MEMWRITE).
(3) was kind of the end goal for introducing ioctl(MEMWRITE). We needed
a user interface that could write data+OOB in a single operation.
