Yes, MTD supports serial flash through the standard SPI framework in the
kernel.

Enable AT45xxx DataFlash support under:
Device Drivers  --->
Memory Technology Devices (MTD)  --->
Self-contained MTD device drivers  --->
<M/*> Support for AT45xxx DataFlash

You must have a SPI driver before this option being available.

Yes.

Enable JFFS2 under:
File systems  --->
Miscellaneous filesystems  --->
<M/*> Journalling Flash File System v2 (JFFS2) support

Atmel has a reference design running Linux and using a _ATMEL_
AT45FB642D DataFlash for storage of applications and data. The kit is
called ATNGW100.

Sorry if referring to kits is outside the scope of this list.
