The goal of summary is to speed up the mount time. Erase block summary (EBS)
stores summary information at the end of every (closed) erase block. It is
no longer necessary to scan all nodes separetly (and read all pages of them)
just read this "small" summary, where every information is stored which is
needed at mount time.
This summary information is stored in a JFFS2_FEATURE_RWCOMPAT_DELETE. During
the mount process if there is no summary info the orignal scan process will
be executed. EBS works with NAND and NOR flashes, too.
There is a user space tool called sumtool to generate this summary
information for a JFFS2 image.

This patch replaces the current CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_NOR_ECC
and CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_DATAFLASH with a single configuration option -
CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_WRITEBUFFER.
The only functional change of this patch is that the slower div/mod
calculations for SECTOR_ADDR(), PAGE_DIV() and PAGE_MOD() are now always
used when CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_WRITEBUFFER is enabled.

For Dataflash, can_mark_obsolete = false and the NAND write buffering
code (wbuf.c) is used.
Since the DataFlash chip will automatically erase pages when writing,
the cleanmarkers are not needed - so cleanmarker_oob = false and
cleanmarker_size = 0
DataFlash page-sizes are not a power of two (they're multiples of 528
bytes). The SECTOR_ADDR macro (added in the previous core patch) is
replaced with a (slower) div/mod version if CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_DATAFLASH is
selected.

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!
