This is better then "can mark obsolete". At lease this does not depend
on application. But I still think that the number of features like is
unpredictable and large. If the number of bits in mtd->flags is not
enough, will you introduce mtd->flags1? This is not very generic
approach.

It is saner to accept the type-based decomposition IMO. Type defines the
set of features. Each application does know which set of features does
it want, so it wants which types can it use.
