I'm beginning to wonder if we should make JFFS2 unlock automatically if it 
finds at least some JFFS2 nodes. Or put in the 'is_flash_locked' method and 
make JFFS2 notice that it's locked _before_ trying to write to it, and 
print an appropriate message and mount in read-only mode so it doesn't even 
let you _try_ to write to it.
