PATCH: allow JFFS2 to write to really small disks

["Øyvind Harboe" <oyvind.harboe@zylin.com>]

The attached patch allows JFFS2 to write to really small JFFS2 disks.

This is e.g. useful when using JFFS2 for in-system one time programming
of embedded device parameters: serial number, MAC, etc.


Comments?
