Important: this feature is experimental so far and the on-flash
format for fastmap may change in the next kernel versions
Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI module parameter
fm_autoconvert to 1 if you want so. Please note that fastmap-enabled
images are still usable with UBI implementations without
fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap fits
into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
If in doubt, say "N".
