Commit e5720d3fe94f5b85c374520b89fb8fbb2143df94 introduced using the
64bit MTD erase ioctl() after a rework of blocklevel to make it fully
64bit safe. It turns out that not all kernels on which pflash might run
actually have the 64bit MTD ioctl(), this is probably due to the kernel
being based off 2.6.28.10.

This patch addresses this by only using the 64bit version of the erase
ioctl() if the parameters exceed 32bit in size.

This error should be after the MEMERASE_64 ioctl right, not the 32 bit
one?

Oops, yes.
