Add a driver for allowing an mtd device to be used as a block device for
swapping. The block device is volatile, and the mapping of swapped pages
is not stored on flash.

Provides volatile block device driver on top of mtd partition
suitable for swapping. The mapping of written blocks is not saved.
The driver provides wear leveling by storing erase counter into the
OOB.

Enables strict tolerance on failed erasures, marking erase blocks bad
right after the first failed operation. With non-strict mode the
erase operation is retried.
