[PATCH][MTD] mtdpart.c: allow other drivers to get physical address of partition

["Jared Hulbert" <jaredeh@gmail.com>]

This is necessary to XIP applications because vm_insert_pfn() requires
a physical address.  Allows AXFS to get the physical address on the
flash of it's partition.  Second try, see
