Yes, it won't be easy to merge. Though it won't be harder than to merge
your patch with the current MTD code.

As this is the first real feedback I got, did you have problems
merging the patch with the current MTD code?

I am basically creating those blindly and untested, as my companies
codebase has diverged quite far from the official kernels. It's a
mess and noone is willing to fix it. :(

Console Messages

[Yunus Shaikh]

After applying the mtd Patch the kernel messages on the console are still
not suppressed
even after passing console=none to the kernel is there any way to supress
the kernel messages ??

Funny, it sounds like the MTD patch was supposed to suppress the kernel
messages on the console.

The following article
    http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=2365

suggested to apply the following command to suppress the kernel messages:

    echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk

I believe one can change the klogd options to "-c 2" as well.
