Subject: [PATCH 8/9] mtd: Allow mtd block device drivers to have a custom
	ioctl function

Allow mtd block drivers to customise their ioctl functions. Also
allow the drivers to obtain the gendisk struct since ioctl 
functions can need this.

This also moves the mtd ioctl functions from locked to unlocked.
As far as I can see, nothing in the mtd code has locking problems.
