If you look at the kernel, you'll see that oobavail is set there the way I did it.
The other bug doesn't show up unless you have multiple oobfree groups. The new variable
is used when reading or writing pages that an initial program loader reads. It's purpose
is to correct pages without using a bad block table. I'll submit that code if this is approved.
