3.6.11.3 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Woodhouse <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit f5cf8f07423b2677cebebcebc863af77223a4972 ]

This code was broken because it assumed that all MTD devices were map-based.
Disable it for now, until it can be fixed properly for the next merge window.
