PATCH 1/1 Add a map_sram driver to drivers/chips/

Howdy,

The attached patch adds "map_sram" as a second chip driver in drivers/mtd/chips/map_ram.c. The two are basically identical apart from the use of the MTD_VOLATILE flag.

I have another patch which makes an entirely separate map_sram.c, but there was so much code duplication with map_ram.c I didn't see the point. I guess if you are using modules then you will need 'alias map_sram map_ram' in /etc/modules.conf or something to get autoloading to work.

The patch also includes a previous patch to set the state to MTD_ERASE_DONE in mapram_erase. This is needed to mount a JFFS2 f/s on an SRAM or RAM device.

Cheers,
Ian.

Slightly OT.

Have you tried the slram driver? I have always used that one to access plain old memory and was very happy. And now you make me wonder, if there is another way that might even be better.
