Actually, logfs caching would help jffs2 as well, as soon as you have
several parallel readers. It should be made generic mtd caching. And
when made generic, it would effectively defeat this patch, as all reads
would be (DRAM-) pagesized.
We could theoretically use buggerheads and do the caching in smaller
granularities.
