adding a comment to mark the end of a function isnt common ... i'd
drop that.  otherwise, the patch looks pretty straightforward to me,
but i'm not a big VFS guru ;).

The patch looks fine for me, except of the weird end comment, and
the ancient ugly "DEBUG(MTD_DEBUG_LEVEL0, "MTD_fsync\n");" ...

I just copied the mtd_close()/mtd_open() function thinking that is was
mtd's codestyle.
So, maybe it's time to clean the while file. I can try to do that next
week if I find the time.

Have the receveid "fsync() for UBI" patch ? it's seems the mail is
waiting for approval on the mailing list.

I've pushed the UBI patch. The MTD part is David's, I do not maintain
the mtd-2.6.git tree.
