I found and solved the problem, at line 115 of drivers/mtd/chips/gen_probe.c
(kernel 2.6.24): mapsize value must be calculated in bytes, not in long.

Implement the panic_write function for the onenand driver. This waits
for any active command to complete/timeout, performs the write, waits
for it to complete and then returns.

MTDs are well suited for logging critical data and the mtdoops driver
allows kernel panics/oops to be written to flash in a blackbox flight
recorder fashion allowing better debugging and analysis of crashes.
Any kernel oops in user context can be easily handled since the kernel
continues as normal and any queued mtd writes are scheduled. Any kernel
oops in interrupt context results in a panic and the delayed writes will
not be scheduled however. The existing mtd->write function cannot be
called in interrupt context so these messages can never be written to
flash.
This patch adds a panic_write function pointer that drivers can
optionally implement which can be called in interrupt context. It is
only intended to be called when its known the kernel is about to panic
and we need to write to succeed. Since the kernel is not going to be
running for much longer, this function can break locks and delay to
ensure the write succeeds (but not sleep).

This patch extends the physmap mapping driver to support multiple
resources for non-identical NOR chips that will be concatenated together
when selected.
This is needed for example for Intel 48F4400 512MBit chips, since they
consist of 2 single different NOR chips with different geometries. The
first (lower) one has botton boot sectors and the 2nd (upper) has top
boot sectors. This currently isn't handled correctly by calling the
physmap driver once with only one resource covering both chips in one
memory region. The same geometrie is used for both chips.
With this patch the following resource structure can be used to
describe the 48F4400 chip correctly:
static struct resource board_nor_resource[] = {
[0] = {
.start = 0xf8000000,
.end = 0xfbffffff,
.flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
},
[1] = {
.start = 0xfc000000,
.end = 0xffffffff,
.flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
}
};

Patch for unlocking all Intel flash that has instant locking on power up.
The patch has been tested on Intel M18, P30 and J3D Strata Flash.
1. The automatic unlocking can be disabled for a particular partition
in the map or the command line.
a. For the bit mask in the map it should look like:
.mask_flags = MTD_POWERUP_LOCK,
b. For the command line parsing it should look like:
mtdparts=0x80000(bootloader)lk
2. This will only unlock parts with instant individual block locking.
Intel parts with legacy unlocking will not be unlocked.

Frederik Himpe reported an unkillable and un-straceable pan process.
Zero length iovecs can go into an infinite loop in writev, because the
iovec iterator does not always advance over them.
The sequence required to trigger this is not trivial. I think it
requires that a zero-length iovec be followed by a non-zero-length iovec
which causes a pagefault in the atomic usercopy. This causes the writev
code to drop back into single-segment copy mode, which then tries to
copy the 0 bytes of the zero-length iovec; a zero length copy looks like
a failure though, so it loops.
Put a test into iov_iter_advance to catch zero-length iovecs. We could
just put the test in the fallback path, but I feel it is more robust to
skip over zero-length iovecs throughout the code (iovec iterator may be
used in filesystems too, so it should be robust).

All those 2-byte values denoting the different capabilities are being written to
the local copy of the caps buffer without being converted to big endian for
simplicity of usage and shorter code later. Also, we add some comments stating
which are the fields of the caps page in question in order to alleviate the
cryptic pointer casting exercises as in e.g. idetape_get_mode_sense_results().
