Ok. I have patch for block2mtd.ko which allows me to mount ubifs 
image in way: losetup --> block2mtd --> ubiattach --> mount 
without nandsim. I needed to patch block2mtd, because ubi code 
needs correct erase size, write size nand subpage shift and full 
image size. So I added params for these properties in block2mtd 
code - and it working. But I do not know if this is correct way, 
but I can send my patch.
