I don't think 'direct-mapped' is particularly necessary -- I think we
have to assume that any NOR flash device is going to be direct-mapped if
we're going to be able to represent it with this scheme.

On the other hand, we _do_ want to specify the type of chip, or at least
the type of _probe_ which should be done for it (jedec vs. cfi). And
optionally also the chip idents.
