Ok, I've just prepared the below patch. Compile-tested only. Anyone
volunteers to verify?

Subject: [PATCH] limbtd: implement mtd_dev_present for old kernels

Implement the 'legacy_dev_present()' function which will check whether an MTD
device is present by scanning the /proc/mtd file when the MTD subsystem does
not support sysfs (the case for pre-2.6.30 kernels).

This patch also moves the 'mtd_dev_present()' function to a slightly more
logical position.
