Indeed. I just copied it from MACH_MX31_3DS_MXC_NAND_USE_BBT, and 
thought it was good to do the same.
If I want to use it, better just do it without that option, as other 
_3ds boards do (and davinci and atmel also do in another way).
I will remove the option in a separate nand patch for imx27pdk.
