<title>[MTD] update internal API to support 64-bit device size</title>

<id>69423d99fc182a81f3c5db3eb5c140acc6fc64be</id>
<content type='text'>
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

Current implementation of subpage read feature for NAND has issues with
small page devices. Small page NAND do not support RNDOUT command.
So subpage feature is not applicable for them.

This patch disables support of subpage for small page NAND.
The code is verified on nandsim(SP NAND simulation) and on LP NAND
devices.

Thanks a lot to Artem for finding this issue.

This patch enables NAND subpage read functionality.
If upper layer drivers are requesting to read non page aligned data NAND
subpage-read functionality reads the only whose ECC regions which include
requested data when original code reads whole page.
This significantly improves performance in many cases.

Here are some digits :

UBI volume mount time
No subpage reads: 5.75 seconds
Subpage read patch: 2.42 seconds

Open/stat time for files on JFFS2 volume:
No subpage read  0m 5.36s
Subpage read     0m 2.88s

Once upon a time, the MTD repository was using CVS.

This patch therefore removes all usages of the no longer updated CVS
keywords from the MTD code.

This also includes code that printed them to the user.
