   i'm intrigued by the above kernel option.  currently, i define my
MTD partitions in drivers/mtd/maps/rpxlite.c, using structs map_info,
mtd_info, etc., and calling the appropriate routines, which works just
fine.

   will this kernel option actually let me define the basic MTD
partitions completely from the kernel command line without messing
with rpxlite.c?  or am i misreading the purpose of this option?

Yes, it will.

excellent, this just gets better and better.  however, will partition
definitions on the command line override those in rpxlite.c?  i notice
that the generic rpxlite.c that comes from the bk tree has a default
partition definition of fe000000/800000.  should that be removed
first?  or will it be ignored?  it's not clear from the comments in
the source.
