+Memory Technology Device (MTD) support
+CONFIG_MTD
+ Memory Technology Devices are flash, RAM and similar chips, often
+ used for solid state filesystems on embedded devices. This option
+ will provide the generic support for MTD drivers to register
+ themselves with the kernel and for potential users of MTD devices
+ to enumerate the devices which are present and obtain a handle on

+ when I've eventually got round to making the CONFIG_BLK_DEV option
+ and you've turned it off.
+
+Common Flash Interface (CFI) support
+CONFIG_MTD_CFI
+ Intel's Common Flash Interface specification provides a universal
+ method for probing the capabilities of flash devices. If you wish
+ to support any device which uses CFI-compliant devices, you need
+ to enable this option.
+
+CFI support for Intel/Sharp Extended Command Set chips
+CONFIG_MTD_CFI_INTELEXT
+ The Common Flash Interface defines a number of different command
+ sets which a CFI-compliant chip may claim to implement. This code
+ provides support for one of those command sets, used on Intel
+ Strataflash and other parts.
+
+Flash chip mapping in physical memory
+CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP
+ This provides a 'mapping' driver which allows the CFI probe and
+ command set driver code to communicate with flash chips which
+ are mapped physically into the CPU's memory. You will need to
+ configure the physical address and size of the flash chips on
+ your particular board.
+
+Physical start location of flash chip mapping
+CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_START
+ This is the physical memory location at which the flash chips
+ are mapped on your particular target board. Refer to the
+ memory map which should hopefully be in the documentation for
+ your board.
+
+Physical length of flash chip mapping
+CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_LEN
+ This is the total length of the mapping of the flash chips on
+ your particular board. If there is space, or aliases, in the
+ physical memory map between the chips, this could be larger
+ than the total amount of flash present. Refer to the memory
+ map which should hopefully be in the documentation for your
+ board.
+
+Flash chip mapping on Mixcom piggyback card
+CONFIG_MTD_MIXMEM
+ This supports the paging arrangement for access to flash chips
+ on the Mixcom piggyback card, allowing the flash chip drivers
+ to get on with their job of driving the flash chips without
+ having to know about the paging. If you have one of these boards,
+ you probably want to enable this mapping driver.

+Flash chip mapping on Octagon 5066 SBC
+CONFIG_MTD_OCTAGON

+ the flash chips are connected in the Octagon-5066 Single Board
+ Computer. You will also need to complete and enable the driver
+ for JEDEC flash chips.
+
+Flash chip mapping on RPXlite PPC board
+CONFIG_MTD_RPXLITE
+ The RPXLite PowerPC board has CFI-compliant chips mapped in
+ a strange sparse mapping. This 'mapping' driver supports that
+ arrangement, allowing the CFI probe and command set driver code
+ to communicate with the chips on the RPXLite board.
+
+Flash chip mapping on Tempustech VMAX SBC301
+CONFIG_MTD_VMAX
+ This provides a 'mapping' driver which supports the way in which
+ the flash chips are connected in the Tempustech VMAX SBC301 Single
+ Board Computer. You will also need to complete and enable the driver
+ for JEDEC flash chips.
+
+Direct chardevice access to MTD devices
+CONFIG_MTD_CHAR
+ This provides a character device for each MTD device present in
+ the system, allowing the user to read and write directly to the
+ memory chips, and also use ioctl() to obtain information about
+ the device, or to erase parts of it.
+
+Pseudo-blockdevice access to MTD devices
+CONFIG_MTD_BLOCK
+ Although flash chips have an erase size too large to useful as
+ block devices, it is possible to use MTD devices which are based
+ on RAM chips in this manner. This blockdevice user of MTD devices
+ performs that function. At the moment, it is also required for
+ the Journalling Flash File System to obtain a handle on the MTD
+ device when it's mounted - although the JFFS doesn't actually use
+ any of the functions of the mtdblock device.
+
+ Later, it may be extended to perform read/erase/modify/write cycles
+ on flash chips to emulate a smaller block size. Needless to say,
+ this is very unsafe, but could be useful for filesystems which are
+ almost never written to.
+
+FTL (Flash Translation Layer) support
+CONFIG_FTL
+ This provides support for the original Flash Translation Layer which
+ is part of the PCMCIA specification. It uses a kind of pseudo-
+ filesystem on a flash device to emulate a block device with 512-byte
+ sectors, on top of which you put a 'normal' filesystem. You may find
+ that the algorithms used in this code are patented unless you live
+ in the Free World where software patents aren't legal - in the USA
+ you are only permitted to use this on PCMCIA hardware, although
+ under the terms of the GPL you're obviously permitted to copy,
+ modify and distribute the code as you wish. Just not use it.
+
+NFTL (NAND Flash Translation Layer) support
+CONFIG_NFTL
+ This provides support for the NAND Flash Translation Layer which is
+ used on M-Systems' DiskOnChip devices. It uses a kind of pseudo-
+ filesystem on a flash device to emulate a block device with 512-byte
+ sectors, on top of which you put a 'normal' filesystem. You may find
+ that the algorithms used in this code are patented unless you live
+ in the Free World where software patents aren't legal - in the USA
+ you are only permitted to use this on DiskOnChip hardware, although
+ under the terms of the GPL you're obviously permitted to copy,
+ modify and distribute the code as you wish. Just not use it.

+Journalling Flash File System (JFFS) support (EXPERIMENTAL)
+CONFIG_JFFS_FS
+ JFFS is a new file system designed for use on flash memory devices
