New MEMERASE/MEMREADOOB/MEMWRITEOOB ioctls are needed in order to support
64-bit offsets into large NAND flash devices.

triviata:

The text inside [] is usually removed by the patch recipient - the []
denotes transient information such as "patch" and the kernel version,
etc.

The preferred form for patch titles is

	subsytem-identifier: what-i-did-to-it

so this patch should have been

	mtd: add MEMERASE64 ioctl for >4GiB devices

Your email client is wordwrapping the text.

Kevin, are you going to re-send patches 2-4, taking into account
Arnd's and Andrew's suggestions?

For Arnd's suggestion, I posted a followup patch here:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2009-April/025269.html

Andrew brought up two issues: [MTD] in the subject line, and
linewrapping.  I am assuming that he fixed these himself since he
pulled all five patches (originals + followup) into the -mm tree.

Should I fix and repost the set anyway?

Thanks.

No, I just missed that patch. Pushed your patches to l2-mtd-2.6.git.
Will ping dwmw2 about this. I also checked that your patches at
least do not break MTD for UBI/UBIFS. Thanks.
