UBI addressing is Eraseblock number:offset within eraseblock, not a
32-bit absolute offset as in case of JFFS2. So, UBI limitation is that
the flash has to have not more then 2^31 eraseblocks, which is a huge
size. UBI will barely ever run on such devices.

Yes, we have some ideas, but we are not planning to do UBI2 so far.
Although we want to create a short document with ideas about about UBI2
design.
