I don't why, but I experienced memory corruptions (triggering kernel panics) when using the page_buffer_virt, even though I had resized it according to the NAND writesize and oobsize (see my previous version).
Do you see anything that could generate an overflow ?
It seems to work when I allocate my own buffer...

It's just a check to later support raw OOB accesses (see patch 3) ;-).

Absolutely, I'll change that.
