May be, how much more? Is that a show-stopper for you? If you copy with
'dd', try 'bs=3D2048' if you are simulating a device with a 2048 bytes
NAND page size.

But I guess you can patch block2mtd, I do not have objections (although
it'll report about itself as NOR flash?), but I never used it and I am
not sure how many bugs there are.
