SIGHUP still works, but it is hard to figure out, if gc has cleaned up
everything. They only way for now is repeat -SIGHUP for a certain amount of
time. Note that there is no real switch off for gc. So it will recycle clean
blocks until you decide to stop it, so some hacking will be neccecary though.
The block shuffle stuff (partition magic) itself is no big deal. Find the
empty ones and rotate the blocks until the empty ones are on top or bottom of
the partition. This could be done from userspace.

I suggested a mtd-partition-magic project some minutes ago on IRC :)
