Thanks Brian and Shijie for getting this READ_RETRY feature in kernel.

Sorry, I din't had any MLC NAND locally at my place, so couldn't help in
Testing these patches, but I know these would be helpful later. As
we observed quite frequent failures due to read-disturb bit-flips on MLC
NANDs, and I hope these patches would reduce such failures.


with regards, pekon
