Can I see it? I've recently pondered patching squashfs to talk
directly to MTD instead of through mtdblock as squashfs often is the
only thing using the block layer on embedded systems.

Compiling with CONFIG_BLOCK=n seems to save around 125kb here.

Yeah, but it has always been pretty easy to fixup.
