Ok, for now:

1. Say that striped device is still a MTD device from the POW of users.
Users use usual mtd->* operations when work with them.

2. Say that the resulting eraseblock size is LCM * device number. Say
that when one erases an eraseblock of the striped device, several
physical eraseblocks of sub-devices are erased.

There is a lack of the basic stuff like this.

I still don't understand your stuff with threads, will ask questions
later. I'm not alone who does not understand it. So I conclude the
explanation is crippled, not me.
