Possibly because the superblock union gets too big. What does it say when 
it panics?

No - consider 'mount /opt & mount /usr' - it has to be per-filesystem. If
it's this which really makes a difference, then we can add the pointer to
the jffs2_sb_info. Can you make it keep a count of how many hits and misses
there are, and print the counts when it's finished mounting?

Cool - can you try each of these changes on its own and measure the benefit
of each?
