I've tested this version for a while now with the same result as before.

No oopses, no spinlock violations.  I copied a 2MB file from the SD/MMC 
partition to the two JFFS2 partitions and md5summ'ed it a bunch of 
times.  After that I unmounted and remounted both partitions.

I do see a steady memory usage increase when doing continuous testing, 
but whether that's normal I don't know.  I see at least some of it being 
reclaimed when unmounting the JFFS2 partitions (grep jffs2 /proc/slabinfo).
