My concern is the MS spec does offer little beyond plain NOR.  I was
careful not to mention any so-called FTL or journaled filesys for flash
device.  Both of them require complicated design and implementation
to utilize NAND spare block field which is in practice the majorl issue.
So, the primitives must offer the way how to handle spare field.
