like 1 flash exists (think software raid 0). able to use 1 write command and the lower layers will automatically split it across multiple flashes. should work with multiple types of flashes.
- cons: requires modification to cmd_mem.c and cfi_flash.c.
Wouldn't it be enough to just modify the blackfin-specific implementation of map_physmem() and unmap_physmem()? Just use some of the physical address bits to toggle the necessary GPIO lines and return a suitable pointer into the 4MB memory window.
