/**
 * @defgroup RTEMSFDisk Flash Disk Device
 *
 * @ingroup rtems_blkdev
 *
 * Flash disk driver for RTEMS provides support for block based
 * file systems on flash devices. The driver is not a flash file
 * system nor does it try to compete with flash file systems. It
 * currently does not journal how-ever block sequence numbering
 * could be added to allow recovery of a past positions if
 * a power down occurred while being updated.
 *
 * This flash driver provides block device support for most flash
 * devices. The driver has been tested on NOR type devices such
 * as the AMLV160 or M28W160. Support for NAND type devices may
 * require driver changes to allow speedy recover of the block
 * mapping data and to also handle the current use of word programming.
 * Currently the page descriptors are stored in the first few pages
 * of each segment.
 *
 * The driver supports devices, segments and pages. You provide
 * to the driver the device descriptions as a table of device
 * descriptors. Each device descriptor contain a table of
 * segment descriptions or segment descriptors. The driver uses
 * this information to manage the devices.
 *
 * A device is made up of segments. These are also called
 * sectors or blocks. It is the smallest erasable part of a device.
 * A device can have differing size segments at different
 * offsets in the device. The segment descriptors support repeating
 * segments that are continuous in the device. The driver breaks the
 * segments up into pages. The first pages of a segment contain
 * the page descriptors. A page descriptor hold the page flags,
 * a CRC for the page of data and the block number the page
 * holds. The block can appear in any order in the devices. A
 * page is active if it hold a current block of data. If the
 * used bit is set the page is counted as used. A page moves
 * from erased to active to used then back to erased. If a block
 * is written that is already in a page, the block is written to
 * a new page the old page is flagged as used.
 *
 * At initialization time each segment's page descriptors are
 * read into memory and scanned to determine the active pages,
 * the used pages and the bad pages. If a segment has any erased
 * pages it is queue on the available queue. If the segment has
 * no erased pages it is queue on the used queue.
 *
 * The available queue is sorted from the least number available
 * to the most number of available pages. A segment that has just
 * been erased will placed at the end of the queue. A segment that
 * has only a few available pages will be used sooner and once
 * there are no available pages it is queued on the used queue.
 * The used queue hold segments that have no available pages and
 * is sorted from the least number of active pages to the most
 * number of active pages.
 *
 * The driver is required to compact segments. Compacting takes
 * the segment with the most number of available pages from the
 * available queue then takes segments with the least number of
 * active pages from the used queue until it has enough pages
 * to fill the empty segment. As the active pages are moved
 * they flagged as used and once the segment has only used pages
 * it is erased.
 *
 * A flash block driver like this never knows if a page is not
 * being used by the file-system. A typical file system is not
 * design with the idea of erasing a block on a disk once it is
 * not being used. The file-system will normally use a flag
 * or a location as a marker to say that part of the disk is
 * no longer in use. This means a number of blocks could be
 * held in active pages but are no in use by the file system.
 * The file system may also read blocks that have never been
 * written to disk. This complicates the driver and may make
 * the wear, usage and erase patterns harsher than a flash
 * file system. The driver may also suffer from problems if
 * power is lost.
 *
 * There are some flash disk specific IO control request types.
 * To use open the device and issue the ioctl() call.
 *
 * @code
 *  int fd = open ("/dev/flashdisk0", O_WRONLY, 0);
 *  if (fd < 0)
 *  {
 *    printf ("driver open failed: %s\n", strerror (errno));
 *    exit (1);
 *  }
 *  if (ioctl (fd, RTEMS_FDISK_IOCTL_ERASE_DISK) < 0)
 *  {
 *    printf ("driver erase failed: %s\n", strerror (errno));
 *    exit (1);
 *  }
 *  close (fd);
 * @endcode
