To avoid unnecessary rewrites, it is necessary to count the number of
actual bitflips that occurred when the NAND_STATUS_REWRITE bit is set.
This patch introduces the extra buffers needed to implement that
counting.  The actual counting is in the next patch.

Spacing:

			on_die_bufsz = 2 * (mtd->writesize + mtd->oobsize);

Do you really need two additional buffers? Can you get by with just one
of them?

Some similar comments have been provided in the previous versions
of the patch. But due to in-consistency in $subject, they might not
be visible as a thread of same discussion.
You may like to review and comment on below threads also.

Yeah, I didn't review every iteration so far. I'm possibly repeating
some things. I'll see where to respond on the old threads.

But here's a note to David: it looks like you sent 4 revisions in one
week. That's a bit fast. Perhaps you can wait a few more days on
spinning patch sets, especially when review is straddling a weekend like
that.
