This updates the NAND stuff to Linux-3.11-rc1. It is synchronized
as best as we can get:
- locks removed
- The splitting in different files we had to better support different
features has been dropped. Instead this is now done mostly with the
use of __maybe_unused
Some barebox adjustments are forward ported, like:
- Allow partial page writes
- Optionally allow to erase bad blocks
- check for all_ff before writing a page

This introduces the ecc stength fields in the structures and fills
them in, but leaves them unused right now.

While erasing bad blocks is a potentially dangerous operation
it is sometimes needed during development or when some foreign
code has touched the flash.
This patch adds a device parameter 'erasebad' to allow erasing
bad blocks. Since this is not wanted during production this is
behind a Kconfig option.

Do not write pages which only contain 0xff. UBI expects pages which
seem empty to be writable. This got lost with:

| mtd core: call driver write function with complete buffer
|
| mtd->write is supposed to loop around pages internally, no need
| to do this in mtd_write. This fixes a huge write performance drop
| with the m25p80 driver when it was converted to a mtd driver recently.
| Since mtd->writesize is 1 for this driver mtd_write ended up doing
| single byte writes on the flash.
Introduce mtd_all_ff as a global function since UBI currently has its own
implementation.

The Kernel has mtd_read, mtd_write, mtd_erase and mtd_block_markbad.
Add these functions to barebox aswell to make future mtd synchronizations
with the kernel easier.

this allow to do not provide block_isbad at mtd driver level
as example spi flash

Change NAND_WRITE into MTD_WRITE.
Change "page_shift" references in the core, which are purely
NAND, into mtd->writesize which is MTD generic.
Rename all "info" (struct mtd_info) into "mtd".
Also provide a parameter to add_mtd_device() so that legacy
nand devices still appear as nand<N>.

We accidently have two list implementations in the tree:
include/list.h and include/linux/list.h. This patch moves
the latter (newer one) to include/linux/list.h.
