I played with keeping the scanning, but it really is a mess.  Shouldn't
the higher layers (ubi, jffs2, etc) know what has already been erased?

Btw, Joerns address bounces.  Does anyone knw if he still wants to
maintain block2mtd and has a new address or if he should be removed from
the maintainers list?
