This is the third submission of a yaffs2 patchset.

I would like to thank everyone that has given comments so far. They
have been most helpful.

I would like to thank CELF and Google for sponsoring the effort to get
yaffs2 mainlined.

This code is patched from 3788df745cd72e035c0c991157cb727a8ecb1f17
at git://www.aleph1.co.uk/yaffs2.

This patch set takes onboard almost all the comments provided since the
last set of patches. Most noteably :
* Removal of kernel locking
* Removal of some debugging  /proc entries
* Use of kernel hweight8/32() functions.

This code ran various tests for the whole night with no problems seen.

Comments/feedback welcome, but I'm hopefully getting pretty close to
acceptance :-).
