wear-leveling necessary on N810 internal/removable cards?

Okay, I guess this a somewhat off-topic question for this list, but I'm not 
sure where else to ask it, so please forgive me.

Simply: do the controllers for the internal and removeable Flash cards of the 
Nokia N810 do wear-leveling automatically or should I use something like JFFS2 
to handle that?  I suppose that the location of the kernel, initfs, and rootfs 
does not do wear-leveling because the maemo OS does use JFFS2 for the rootfs, 
but I'm not sure about the two Flash cards.

Thanks.

It's MMC cards which means it does its own wear-leveling internally.
So you don't need to worry it.

Thank you,
