Artem, for some reason I can't seem to either understand you or change
your mind.  You firmly want to keep mtd->type for a reason I cannot
understand.  And I firmly believe that mtd->type is useless at best
and outright harmful at worst.  Most likely one of us is wrong, but
since we can't reach common grounds, I stopped arguing with you.  It
is pointless, sadly.

If it is me, who is wrong, I hope dwmw2 will show just that.  If my
plans are sound, I hope he will agree and continue to merge patches.
