Yep. Whatever map driver you're using, switch the add_mtd_partitions call 
to just register the underlying MTD device directly rather than the 
partitions.

Testing is good, yes please. Read-only testing is pointless because nobody's
written a mkfs.jffs2 yet, so you have to mount an empty filesystem and then
fill it. It seems OK at the moment until you get to the end of the flash 
and the GC starts having to do some work. Compression is working nicely. 

I'm working on the GC code. The scan code and the normal read/write/etc 
operations want exercising. And mkfs.jffs2 wants writing :)
