2.6.x cannot mount the root fs on a jffs2 image?

Hi,

Can 2.6.x mount the root fs on a jffs2 image? After a while of
research by googling, I found that do_mounts.c was re-written quite a
lot compared with 2.4.x. In 2.4.x there is root_dev_names specifying
all devices can be mounted as the root fs. But there isn't such a
struct any more. Probably root_device_name is the sibling?

How to add jffs2 support in do_mounts.c?

Thanks,
-Shawn.
