Sorry for the delays on this. Part of the reason for the delay comes
from my first criticism: this is an awfully big patch to review and
apply in one go. (I'm not the only one to say this; I know at least one
other who couldn't find the time to review this due to its size.) Is
there any way you can break it into more manageable parts that can be
reviewed and verified on their own? There's a good reason that this
patch was left in my WIP tree with a "not complete" tag, and part of
that is that I considered this to be a disorganized pile of related
changes that I'd need to sort out later.

Some possible categories that could be separated (use your judgment, but
many of these can probably be their own patch):

* migrating existing definitions to a new header (nand_bbt.h)
* BIG POINT (at least for me): what did you change from my WIP patch
  that you "borrowed"?
* adding new definitions, with a good explanation of the design
  (completely missing so far); e.g., what does the layering look like?
* add new API definitions (with no users), with an intermediate
  implementation that existing users could use; the API should look the
  same, except you'd do something like this at first:

struct nand_bbt {
  	struct nand_chip *chip; /* <-- this won't be here later, but it
					helps at first */
	struct mtd_info *mtd;
	...
};

int nand_bbt_markbad(struct nand_bbt *bbt, loff_t offs)
{
	/*
	 * FIXME: nand_markbad_bbt() still assumes mtd->priv is a struct
	 * nand_chip
	 */
	return nand_markbad_bbt(bbt->mtd, offs);
}

* convert existing nand_bbt users (i.e., nand_base) to use this new API
* convert nand_bbt.c implementation to actually be independent of
  nand_chip

There may be more to split out, but it's a little hard to judge right
now. Please let me know if you don't understand what I'm asking for, or
if you have objections.

I have a few small comments buried below, but I expect I (and others)
will be able to review a little better once you address some of the
above.

This comment shouldn't be here. I guess that's a FIXME? Well fix it!

Nope. To do this all right, we need to provide a proper abstraction for
what's being done here. No breaking the layering like this.
