mtd->erasesize

Hi!

I'm busy writing a driver for the 28Fxxxxx 3V Intel Fast Boot Block flash
devices (for now only a LART driver since I have no other boards to play
with).

The problem is that these chips have 8 4k blocks in the beginning and the
rest is 32k blocks, so effectively there is two erasesize's.

For now, I'm just skipping the first 8 4k blocks so you can't access that
with the MTD driver, but I believe this is a design flaw with the MTD
drivers. It should be able to handle multiple erasesize's for each device.

Somebody's terminal is dropping bits.  I found a pile of them over in the
corner.
