Right. This was the fix. The attached diff to update the defconfig is
included below.

Please, note that it wasn't sufficient to only to define
CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_COMPAT. 

The default values for CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_{START,LEN,BANKWIDTH} weren't
correct (and, as a result, no MTD was detected on my kurobox and this
was a regression regarding 2.6.28).

This patch makes the compilation succeed and the MTD device work again.
Already tested and in production.
