Artem Bityutskiy c382fb43df romfs: switch to new MTD API
We have changed the MTD API and now ROMFS should use 'mtd_read()' instead
of mtd->read().

Bernd Schmidt ef1f7a7e87 ROMFS: fix length used with romfs_dev_strnlen() function
An interestingly corrupted romfs file system exposed a problem with the
romfs_dev_strnlen function: it's passing the wrong value to its helpers.
Rather than limit the string to the length passed in by the callers, it
uses the size of the device as the limit.

David Howells 4b2b0b9753 ROMFS: Advance destination buffer pointer when reading from a blockdev
RomFS should advance the destination buffer pointer when reading data from a
blockdev source (the data may be split over multiple blocks, each requiring its
own sb_read() call).  Without this, all the data is copied to the beginning of
the output buffer.

David Howells 84baf74bf2 ROMFS: romfs_lookup() shouldn't be doing a partial name comparison
romfs_lookup() should be using a routine akin to strcmp() on the backing store,
rather than one akin to strncmp().  If it uses the latter, it's liable to match
/bin/shutdown when looking up /bin/sh.

David Howells da4458bda2 NOMMU: Make it possible for RomFS to use MTD devices directly
Change RomFS so that it can use MTD devices directly - without the intercession
of the block layer - as well as using block devices.

This permits RomFS:

 (1) to use the MTD direct mapping facility available under NOMMU conditions if
     the underlying device is directly accessible by the CPU (including XIP);

 (2) and thus to be used when the block layer is disabled.

RomFS can be configured with support just for MTD devices, just for Block
devices or for both.  If RomFS is configured for both, then it will treat
mtdblock device files as MTD backing stores, not block layer backing stores.

I tested this using a CONFIG_MMU=n CONFIG_BLOCK=n kernel running on my FRV
board with a RomFS image installed on the mtdram test device.  I see my test
program being run XIP:

	# cat /proc/maps
	...
	c0c000b0-c0c01f8c r-xs 00000000 1f:00 144        /mnt/doshm
	...

GDB on the kernel can be used to show that these addresses are within the
set-aside RAM space.
