Right, but I am now handling Shmulik's comments about auto-incremented
NAND. It seems like there are few/no users of auto-incrementing page
reads, but if any driver relied on reading page,oob,page,oob,etc.
without a READ command in between, then we might cause problems by
skipping the OOB buffer read. Of course, with various NAND
controllers/drivers, this issue is hard for me to sort through.

scripts/get_maintainers.pl only goes so far. It's hard to track down
the *real* experts here...

OK, I'll fix it too then.

Thanks.
