I couldn't make out much of it.

Again, I think the evolution goes like this:

1. Kernel driver allowing unrestricted reads and writes to top 16MB.

2. Kernel driver implementing the lowest level flash chip API.
 Possibly using some macro language so that reboot isn't neccessary
 to upgrade flash support.

API details can't really be that complicated until (2) but I don't
think we can get away from doing (1) first so no need to worry about
(2) yet.
