Hello
I brought this up before, but got no definite answer
the devs/flash/arm/at91 and devs/flash/intel/bootblock drivers are
1) no longer used by code in CVS
2) have better replacements (AT29xx, AT49xx, strata and 28Fxxx)
3) intentionally not updated to some recent changes (.2ram sections, caches)
4) add noise to grep and cscope data
If for some reason one would want them the Attic would be a good place to find
them
So soes anybody have strong feelings against deleting them from the tree?

If they are no longer used and have true replacements, then yes, remove
them. Be sure and remove them from ecos.db as well.
