Yes, I've built it and made a few simple checks.  Mostly I use NFS, so I
haven't stressed it much.

Don't know about in-tree yaffs.  I need yaffs2 support and nand-2k
support.

Try the latest yaffs2 svn, and patch the kernel using their script.  I
checked it out around early December; at the time I had to pull a patch
from the M/L, but the tree has been updated since then.

Don't know if they still enable checkpoint tracing.  If so, you might
want to turn it off; it really worried me until I realized it was
harmless.  Comment out YAFFS_TRACE_CHECKPOINT in yaffs_fs.c
