This is a convenience function for end users. In some situations it's
easier to reference MTD device's by their name then by MTD number, as
the name may be more reliable if device partitioning is dynamic or for
porting between systems.

This patch exposes OOB available size to user. Then user can use
OOB free area according to OOB available size.
Steps to get OOB available size:
First, access /sys/class/mtd/mtdX/oobavail. If not exist, then
try to get ecc layout by ioctl "ECCGETLAYOUT". If none of them
work, set OOB available size to 0.

The documentation of libmtd_open says, if it returns NULL and errno is
zero, MTD is not present. However, the current version always returns
a libmtd_t object. The function internally checks, if it can access the
MTD sysfs files and, if not, sets a flag to use the procfs fallback.
This patch adds an additional check to libmtd_open, to test if the
MTD procfs file can be read and fails with errno cleared if it does
not exist.
Furhtermore, mtd_get_info is documented to fail with errno set to ENODEV
if MTD is not present. First of all, this was broken in the original
version. It was implemented to specification for the sysfs code path,
but if MTD is not present, that won't be executed, because of the flag
set by libmtd_open. This makes the check not only redundant, but masks
an actual error (the sysfs paths suddenly not being readable anymore).
The legacy path that was used if the sysfs files are not avaible fails
with ENOENT if it cannot read the procfs file. With the above changes
in addition, we don't have a libmtd_t object if neither sysfs nor
procfs is readable, so this error status no longer makes sense.
This patch removes the documentation on the ENODEV errno, and
makes sure that mtd_get_info always returns with apropriate errno
on failure.

Implement the 'legacy_dev_present()' function which will check whether an MTD
device is present by scanning the /proc/mtd file when the MTD subsystem does
not support sysfs (the case for pre-2.6.30 kernels).
This patch also moves the 'mtd_dev_present()' function to a slightly more
logical position.

This patch is base on Kevin Cernekee's patch posted to the MTD mailing
list. It adds MEMERASE64 support to the 'mtd_erase()' call. Now it
first tries to use MEMERASE64, and if that is not supported, falls
back to the old MEMERASE ioctl.
This patch also introduces an 'offs64_ioctl' flag to the libmtd
descriptor. However, we cannot initialize it in 'libmtd_open()',
because we need an MTD device node, which we do not have in
'libmtd_open()'. Thus, we firs mark this flag as "uninitialized",
and at the first invocation of 'mtd_erase()' we initialize it.
This also means that we have to pass the limbtd descriptor to
'mtd_erase()', to save the flag value. This, in turn, requires
tweaking 'mtd_erase()' users.
This is not very nice, but good enough so far.

Source files for libmtd, crc32, and fec are scattered throughout the
tree. Move them to a central location so they can be built into a
common "libmtd.a" library used by all mtd-utils programs.
This patch only renames/deletes files and does not change the content.
Also modify the build system and source code so that libmtd.a can be built
from a "common" location (lib/). Statically link all utilities at the top
level with libmtd.a . Minor changes to mkfs.ubifs to allow using the common
crc32 implementation.
