Ideally, we think it would be best if the existing MTD-based ps3vram

would be replaced by the new block-based ps3vram driver before
2.6.29 is
released. This would relieve the burden of supporting two different
swap space
schemes on PS3 (swap on /dev/mtdblock0 vs. /dev/ps3vram) from the
distro
maintainer's shoulders, as in that case there would never have been
a stable
kernel version containing the MTD-based ps3vram driver.
openSuSE already ships with the ps3vram driver since a two releases.
A simple name based udev rule could symlink ps3vram to mtdblock0, so
an upgrade
will not break existing setups.
+obj-$(CONFIG_PS3_VRAM) += ps3vram_ng.o
Please give the driver the obvious name "ps3vram", that way upgrading
will be smooth.
I see our old mtddriver does not have modalias support for autoloading.
Hopefully the new driver has this feature.
