You cannot mark these parameters as __initdata.
Otherwise the data is gone upon module exit.

Rename the UBI_IOCVOLATTBLK and UBI_IOCVOLDETBLK to UBI_IOCVOLCRBLK and
UBI_IOCVOLRMBLK, because we do not use terms "attach" and "detach" for the R/O
block devices on top of UBI volumes. Instead, we use terms "create" and
"remove". This patch also amends the related commentaries.

ubiblock_param_ops should be marked as __init as it's only used to set
a driver parameter on insertion time. This commit fixes the following:
WARNING: drivers/mtd/built-in.o(.text+0x653ac): Section mismatch in
reference from the variable ubiblock_param_ops to the function
.init.text:ubiblock_set_param()
The function ubiblock_param_ops() references the function __init
ubiblock_set_param(). This is often because ubiblock_param_ops lacks a
__init annotation or the annotation of ubiblock_set_param is wrong.
Given gcc errors if the struct is marked const __initdata, this commit
drops the const mark from it.

We already use term attach/detach for UBI->MTD relations, let's not use this
for UBI->ubiblock relations to avoid confusion. Just use 'create' and 'remove'
instead. E.g., "create a R/O block device on top of a UBI volume".

This commit introduces read-only block device emulation on top of UBI volumes.
Given UBI takes care of wear leveling and bad block management it's possible
to add a thin layer to enable block device access to UBI volumes.
This allows to use a block-oriented filesystem on a flash device.
The UBI block devices are meant to be used in conjunction with any
regular, block-oriented file system (e.g. ext4), although it's primarily
targeted at read-only file systems, such as squashfs.
Block devices are created upon user request through new ioctls:
UBI_IOCVOLATTBLK to attach and UBI_IOCVOLDETBLK to detach.
Also, a new UBI module parameter is added 'ubi.block'. This parameter is
needed in order to attach a block device on boot-up time, allowing to
mount the rootfs on a ubiblock device.
For instance, you could have these kernel parameters:
ubi.mtd=5 ubi.block=0,0 root=/dev/ubiblock0_0
Or, if you compile ubi as a module:
$ modprobe ubi mtd=/dev/mtd5 block=/dev/ubi0_0
Artem: amend commentaries and massage the patch a little bit.
