What do we have nasty half incomplete interleave
logic all throughout the cfi code?

It looks like it could be done more cleanly with a wrapper
around the probe code, and a wrapper around the mapping driver.

The chip driver needs to know about the interleave to some extent - it's 
got to be able to deal with errors on individual chips in the interleave. 
(How well we actually do that at the moment is a different question, of 
course.)

I thought the macros that were introduced (by Nico?) were roughly the right 
thing. If you have better suggestions, though, I'm interested.

I did the work towards generic interleave support only for cmdset-001.  Last
time I had a look the work wasn't completely done for cmdset-002.
