This way seems most easily to realize. Synchronize the loop file and
maybe you will never worry about power cut.

How about using UBI-layer and writing a new block driver to handle
bio? This driver should care about which leb on the flash has data
and other thing else(I don't have a clear idea now). The 'leb_change'
ops in UBI-layer maybe helpful for in-place update and atomic write.
But This way is harder than using a loop file.
