Fairly, It's ugly, evil and painful when FAT tries to do it, and it
wouldn't be any less so in JFFS2. I suspect you'd be far better off
doing it in userspace. 

In the kernel, you end up with 'interesting' dcache coherency problems
and charset problems and generally end up going insane.

What precisely is the problem you're trying to solve?
