Subject: [PATCH] nand_bbt.c, kernel 2.6.28.7

New to the Linux kernel development community here...

This is a patch for a bug I found in an older version of the kernel I'm
using on a project (2.6.10).  (The defect still exists in the latest
version of the kernel 2.6.28.7, hence the reason for the post.)  For
NAND chips with large block sizes (128K in our case) I was getting an
out of memory error when I attempted to store the bad block table in
flash.  This patch fixes that error by allocating memory in the same way
it's done in another function in the file.  Feedback desired: Does the
fix seem reasonable?  If so, what else must be done to have it
incorporated into the source tree?  Thx.
