This looks sane to me, although I'll admit that JFFS1 is a vague and 
distant memory - I have enough trouble remembering the details of JFFS2 :)

Unless someone else objects to it shortly, feel free to go ahead and commit
it. Please could I ask you to make the layout of the new code match what was

etc. I'll refrain from being pedantic about printks without priorities as 
that _does_ actually match the existing code :)
