<title>UBI: introduce the VID buffer concept</title>

Currently, all VID headers are allocated and freed using the
ubi_zalloc_vid_hdr() and ubi_free_vid_hdr() function. These functions
make sure to align allocation on ubi-&gt;vid_hdr_alsize and adjust the
vid_hdr pointer to match the ubi-&gt;vid_hdr_shift requirements.
This works fine, but is a bit convoluted.
Moreover, the future introduction of LEB consolidation (needed to support
MLC/TLC NANDs) will allows a VID buffer to contain more than one VID
header.

Hence the creation of a ubi_vid_io_buf struct to attach extra information
to the VID header.

We currently only store the actual pointer of the underlying buffer, but
will soon add the number of VID headers contained in the buffer.

<title>ubi: Only read necessary size when reading the VID header</title>

When reading the vid hdr from the device UBI always reads a whole
page. Instead, read only the data we actually need and speed up
attachment of UBI devices by potentially making use of reading
subpages if the NAND driver supports it.

Since the VID header may be at offset vid_hdr_shift in the page and
we can only read from the beginning of a page we have to add that
offset to the read size.

<title>UBI: fix use of "VID" vs. "EC" in header self-check</title>

Looks like a typo, using UBI_EC_HDR_SIZE_CRC (note the "EC") to compute
the CRC for the VID header.

This shouldn't cause any functional change, as both structures are 64
bytes. Verified with:

	BUILD_BUG_ON(UBI_VID_HDR_SIZE_CRC != UBI_EC_HDR_SIZE_CRC);

Make sure that data_size is less than LEB size.
Otherwise a handcrafted UBI image is able to trigger
an out of bounds memory access in ubi_compare_lebs().

Emulate random power cuts by switching device to ro after a number of
writes to allow simple power cut testing with nand-sim.

Maximum and minimum number of successful writes before power cut and
what kind of writes (EC header, VID header or none) to interrupt
configurable via debugfs.

If there is more then one UBI device mounted, there is no way to
distinguish between messages from different UBI devices.
Add device number to all ubi layer message types.

The R/O block driver messages were replaced by pr_* since
ubi_device structure is not used by it.

Amended a bit by Artem.

<title>UBI: avoid program operation on NOR flash after erasure interrupted</title>

nor_erase_prepare() will be called before erase a NOR flash, it will program '0'
into a block to mark this block. But program data into a erasure interrupted block
can cause program timtout(several minutes at most) error, could impact other
operation on NOR flash. So UBIFS can read this block first to avoid unneeded
program operation.

This patch try to put read operation at head of write operation in
nor_erase_prepare(), read out the data.
If the data is already corrupt, then no need to program any data into this block,
just go to erase this block.

This patch is validated on Micron NOR flash, part number is：JS28F512M29EWHA

With this patch code is a bit more readable and there's no
generated code or functionality impact.
Furthermore, this abstracts implementation details and
will allow to change ubi_debug_info in a less invasive way.
