Add support for Samsung Flex-OneNAND devices. Flex-OneNAND combines SLC and MLC technologies into a single device. SLC area provides increased reliability and speed, suitable for storing code such as bootloader, kernel and root file system. MLC area provides high density and is suitable for storing user data.

2009-06-05mtd: uclinux: allow systems to override map addr/sizeMike Frysinger
Due to a processor anomaly (05000263 to be exact), most Blackfin parts cannot keep the embedded filesystem image directly after the kernel in RAM. Instead, the filesystem needs to be relocated to the end of memory. As such, we need to tweak the map addr/size during boot for Blackfin systems. This can be done in any early arch/board init code.

2009-06-05mtd: plat_nand: allow platform to set partitionsH Hartley Sweeten
Add optional callback to allow platform to initialize partitions. Static partitions on a nand device could vary depending on the size of the device. This patch allows an optional platform callback to be used to setup this partition information at runtime. Scan order is: 1) chip.part_probe_types 2) chip.set_parts 3) chip.partitions 4) full mtd device (fallback for no partitions) Some of the existing nand drivers could possibly be replaced by the plat_nand driver by using this patch.

2009-06-05mtd: remove pmcmsp-ramroot.cShane McDonald
The RAMROOT function was a successful but non-portable attempt to append the root filesystem to the end of the kernel image. The preferred and portable solution is to use an initramfs instead. The only user of this function was the msp71xx configuration in the MIPS architecture; as the use of the RAMROOT has been removed from that configuration, there are no more users, so this code can be removed.

2009-05-07random: make get_random_int() more randomLinus Torvalds
It's a really simple patch that basically just open-codes the current "secure_ip_id()" call, but when open-coding it we now use a _static_ hashing area, so that it gets updated every time. And to make sure somebody can't just start from the same original seed of all-zeroes, and then do the "half_md4_transform()" over and over until they get the same sequence as the kernel has, each iteration also mixes in the same old "current->pid + jiffies" we used - so we should now have a regular strong pseudo-number generator, but we also have one that doesn't have a single seed. Note: the "pid + jiffies" is just meant to be a tiny tiny bit of noise. It has no real meaning. It could be anything. I just picked the previous seed, it's just that now we keep the state in between calls and that will feed into the next result, and that should make all the difference. I made that hash be a per-cpu data just to avoid cache-line ping-pong: having multiple CPU's write to the same data would be fine for randomness, and add yet another layer of chaos to it, but since get_random_int() is supposed to be a fast interface I did it that way instead. I considered using "__raw_get_cpu_var()" to avoid any preemption overhead while still getting the hash be _mostly_ ping-pong free, but in the end good taste won out.
