The error code returned by the ecc.correct() are not consistent over the
all implementations.
Document the expected behavior in include/linux/mtd/nand.h and fix
offending implementations.
[Brian: this looks like a bugfix for the ECC reporting in the bf5xx_nand
driver, but we haven't seen any testing results for it]

and a wrapper for mtd interface.
The tmio_nand driver can implement its ecc.correct function easily

This patch for nand_ecc.c fixes three issues
- fix code so it also works on big endian architectures
- added a printk in case of an uncorrectable ecc error
- strengthen the test for correctable errors (decreasing the chance
that multiple bit faults by accident will be seen as correctable)
Note: the big endian code is only tested in a testbed (running on big endian
hardware) as I cannot rebuild and test a big endian kernel at the moment.
However the only thing that can go wrong is if <asm/byteorder.h> does not
give __BIG_ENDIAN in that case. In my eyes very unlikely.

Once upon a time, the MTD repository was using CVS.
This patch therefore removes all usages of the no longer updated CVS

This also includes code that printed them to the user.

Unrolling the loops produces denser and much faster code.
Add a config switch which allows to select the byte order of the
resulting ecc code. The current Linux implementation has a byte
swap versus the SmartMedia specification

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
