Ah, so this is in the kernel, right?  If I look into 'fs/jffs2/scan.c' I
see that this constant even changed to 256 in 2.6.37.  We should adapt
accordingly.

You should also include a statement in the commit message that this
change "syncs up with jffs2 in the linux kernel".  This is important
information.

The kernel does it even better :)

 D1(printk(KERN_DEBUG "%d bytes at start of block seems clean... assuming all clean\n", EMPTY_SCAN_SIZE(c->sector_size)));

Use that please.

Cheers
