Very true for the fix.
As to whether we need ioctls for raw mtd devices, we're loosing bad block
operations and memgetinfo.

Unfortunately that's a flaw with my split of core.c/mtdraw.c. The complete fix
would be to have mtd_ioctl split into :
 - mtd_ioctl : would call 
              _mtd_ioctl(struct mtd_info *info, int request, void *buf)
 - _mtd_ioctl : current code of ioctl handling
And add :
 - mtdraw_ioctl: would call _mtd_ioctl()

For the time being your patch is perfectly fine. Do you want me to add the split
+ mtdraw_ioctl() ? That's not a too big amount of work.

Cheers.
