As I wrote: 'process_eb()'. Now it is named 'scan_peb()' after the
renames.

It does all the work to scan PEB headers. Create a _separate_ 'struct
ubi_attach_info' run 'scan_peb()' for each PEB of the fastmap. Check for
errors, and sanity (all headers are there, no errors, etc, may be an
extra self-check function would be appropriate here). Then go through
the resulting fastmap volume attach info, read and process the fastmap
_contents_. Of course you need the second (real) attach info for the
data you read from the fastmep. This is what I call "reuse the existing"
code.

How does this sound to you?

Yes, you should check everything. If you reuse the code, you will get
this automatically, no?
