Sorry, I have not read this and the previous related long threads, but
from the few first e-mails I got the impression that you are not aware
of the patch from Brian Norris where he modifies MTD BBT code so that it
will by default write bad block markers _both_ to the BBT and to OOB. It
sounds like you should hold on with this patch and wait when Brian's
patch gets in. Then you probably may just use the first version of this
patch.

The patch I referred to:

HTH.
