+ Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
+ in nearly constant time.
+ Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it only has to locate
+ a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
+ The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
+ the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
+ attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
+ a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI module parameter
+ fm_autoconvert to 1 if you want so. Please note that fastmap-enabled
+ images are still usable with UBI implementations without
+ fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap fits
+ into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
+
+ If in doubt, say "N".
