UBI_FM_MAX_START*2 has nothing do to with the Fastmap size.
IMHO we need a threshold where Fastmap makes sense.
Technically Fastmap can only be used if a MTD device has >= UBI_FM_MAX_START
PEBs.
But does this makes sense? Fastmap was invented to speedup attaching on *large* MTDs,
The benefit in small MTDs is very little.
