69423d99fc [MTD] update internal API to support 64-bit device size
MTD internal API presently uses 32-bit values to represent
device size.  This patch updates them to 64-bits but leaves
the external API unchanged.  Extending the external API
is a separate issue for several reasons.  First, no one
needs it at the moment.  Secondly, whether the implementation
is done with IOCTLs, sysfs or both is still debated.  Thirdly
external API changes require the internal API to be accepted
first.

Note that although the MTD API will be able to support 64-bit
device sizes, existing drivers do not and are not required
to do so, although NAND base has been updated.

In general, changing from 32-bit to 64-bit values cause little
or no changes to the majority of the code with the following
exceptions:
    	- printk message formats
    	- division and modulus of 64-bit values
    	- NAND base support
	- 32-bit local variables used by mtdpart and mtdconcat
	- naughtily assuming one structure maps to another
	in MEMERASE ioctl

e6be133b68 [MTD] Fix fwh_lock locking
This is on a custom board with a mapping driver access to an ST
M50LPW080 chip. This chip is probed successfully with
do_map_probe("jedec_probe",...). If I use the mtdchar interface to
perform unlock->erase->program->lock on any of the 16 eraseblocks in the
chip, the chip is left in FL_STATUS mode while the data structures
believe that the chip is in FL_READY mode. Hence, any subsequent reads
to any flash byte results in 0x80 being read.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
