Who would benefit from having those 2 0-sized partitions and how? How
many users/scripts would be confused by this (these 2 ghost partitions
would be visible in /proc/mtd and sysfs)? How much RAM would we spend
for creating sysfs files and directories for these ghost partitions
(note, one sysfs file costs a couple KiB I thing, because 'sizeof
(struct inode)').
While you suggestion is clever, do we really benefit from this?
