When building the file system the existing code does an insertion into
a linked list. It attempts to speed this up by keeping a pointer to
where the last entry was inserted but it's still slow.
Now the nodes are just inserted into the list without searching
through for the correct place. This unsorted list is then sorted once
using mergesort after all the entries have been added to the list.
This speeds up the scanning of the flash file system considerably.

As we moved data_crc() invocation from jffs2_1pass_build_lists() to
jffs2_1pass_read_inode() data_crc is going to be calculated on each
inode access. This patch adds caching of data_crc() results. There
is no significant improvement in speed (because of flash access
caching added in previous patch I think, crc in RAM is really fast)
but this patch impacts memory usage -- every b_node structure uses
12 bytes instead of 8.

With this patch JFFS2 code allocates memory buffer of max_totlen size
(size of the largest node, calculated during scan time) and uses it to
store entire node. Speeds up loading. If malloc fails we use old ways
to do things.

Old, obsolete and duplicated code was cleaned up and replace by the
new partitioning method. There are two possible approaches now:
* define a single, static partition
* use mtdparts command line option and dynamic partitioning
Default is static partitioning.
- remove trailing white space, trailing empty lines, C++ comments, etc.
- split cmd_boot.c (separate cmd_bdinfo.c and cmd_load.c)
* Patches by Kenneth Johansson, 25 Jun 2003:
- major rework of command structure
(work done mostly by Michal Cendrowski and Joakim Kristiansen)
the HSYNC/VSYNC. Requires new CPLD code (Version 101 for Rev. 100
boards, version 153 for Rev. 200 boards).
* Patch by Vladimir Gurevich, 12 Mar 2003:
Fix relocation problem of statically initialized string pointers
in common/cmd_pci.c
* Patch by Kai-Uwe Blöm, 12 Mar 2003:
Cleanup & bug fixes for JFFS2 code:
- the memory mangement was broken. It caused havoc on malloc by
writing beyond the block boundaries.
- the length calculation for files was wrong, sometimes resulting
in short file reads.
- data copying now optionally takes fragment version numbers into
account, to avoid copying from older data.
See doc/README.JFFS2 for details.
