You don't need 'mapped.o' which is going to go away fairly shortly.

You need to ensure that 'jedec.c' both works and supports the interleaved 
arrangement of your flash chips. 

Then you need to provide a 'map' driver through which it can access the 
chips. If the flash chips are linearly mapped into your physical address 
space, then physmem.c is a good place to start.
