Does the device perform translation internally to pretend to be a block device, or does the host access the flash directly and perform the translation itself?
If the translation is done by the host, it sounds like your flash controller should be implemented as an MTD device. There is a set of helpers to allow a translation layer to be implemented simply -- see the ftl, nftl and inftl code in the 2.6 kernel for examples.
