[PATCH 1/5] mtdram: expose write size and writebuf size as module parameters

[Dirk Behme]

From: Manfred Spraul <manfred at colorfullife.com>

Right now, mtdram reports itself as a device with a 1 byte write
size, and the writebuf size can only be changed at compile time.

The patch:
- allows to change the write size, both at compile and at
  module load time
- allows to change the writebuf size at module load time.

Increasing the write size e.g. speeds up nandwrite significantly,
and it allows to test how UBI behaves with/without subpage writes.
