Hmm, can you be more specific?  Here are all static variables that
matter in physmap.c.  Which ones are you thinking to eliminate?  And in 
what way?  (Assuming you do not mean I just drop "static" modifier...)

static struct mtd_info *mymtd;

static struct mtd_partition *mtd_parts;
static int                   mtd_parts_nb;

static int num_physmap_partitions;
static struct mtd_partition *physmap_partitions;
