We should add a partitioning layer on top of the current interface.
And even better solution would be to introduce a common flash interface for NOR, NAND, SPI, etc. flash and add a partitioning layer on top of that.
rather than reinvent the wheel, just support redboot partitioning scheme. but yeah, i dont think it makes much sense to add partitioning support to each flash layer and turn around and unify it all. take the common layer approach first.
during my work on the nslu2 I'm preparing a part to support redboot partitioning scheme
