Huh!? Well, there is some time since we have implemented the flash 
support for our board (Atmel AT91RM9200 based),
but at the moment we have done that, as far as I remember it was 
impossible to support both chips we have.

Our boards flash driver is the same as in board/atmel/at91rm9200dk/flash.c
The only thing that was modified is the flash identification routine, as 
there was no support for AT49BV642D.
The flash organization for this chip is the same as in AT49BV6416 which 
exists in the sources, so we haven't changed a lot.

So, I think that's all are board dependent what and where are easier 
and/or faster to implement.
