Resolve issue noted by Sneha:  when computing oobavail from
the list of free areas in the OOB, don't assume there will
always be an unused slot at the end.  With ECC_HW_SYNDROME
and 4KB page chips, it's fairly likely there *won't* be one.

RESEND refreshed 7-april version.
Still seems appropriate for a 2.6.30-rc merge.

Hi,

not that I tested your stuff, but it looks OK for me. So I've
added the series to my l2-mtd tree, which means I'll ping
dwmw2 about pulling it at some point. No guarantees, though.
