[PATCH] [RFC] mtd/uclinux: support ROM and allow passing the base address

This allows to put the filesystem at a defined address in ROM allowing
to save more precious RAM.
I think it's save to default to ROM because the intention of using the
uclinux map is to use a romfs and so mtd-ram doesn't give you anything
that mtd-rom doesn't.
