Hmm, I did not enable EBS and did not test how it works. If you have 
small NOR flash, don't use EBS. EBS may make things worse on small NORs 
- both because of wasting space and because NOR+EBS looks like NAND for 
JFFS2 (jffs2_can_mark_obsolete() is 0 at os-linux.h), which leads to 
greater CPU load on mount (much more nodes to check). I believe Ferenc 
should write about this in a Readme file or in the EBS config help.
