In linux kernel since version 2.6.20 (release Date: 2007-02-04)
This provides support for the Inverse NAND Flash Translation
Layer which is used on M-Systems' newer DiskOnChip devices. It
uses a kind of pseudo-file system on a flash device to emulate
a block device with 512-byte sectors, on top of which you put
a 'normal' file system.
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.
