Make it possible to mmap MTD chardevs directly or by copy on a NOMMU system.

Why would you want to do this?  I'm just curious.

Where do you actually do the -ENOSYS part?  I think that comment
belongs to the actual mtd_get_unmapped_area call in mtdchar.c, no?

Could we do something like:

#else
#define mtd_get_unmapped_area (NULL);

which would prevent the ugly ifdef in the mtd_fops structure?

 static struct file_operations mtd_fops = {
        .owner          = THIS_MODULE,
        .llseek         = mtd_lseek,

See above.
