UBI_FM_MAX_START*2 has nothing do to with the Fastmap size. IMHO we need a threshold where Fastmap makes sense. Technically Fastmap can only be used if a MTD device has >= UBI_FM_MAX_START PEBs. But does this makes sense? Fastmap was invented to speedup attaching on *large* MTDs, The benefit in small MTDs is very little.
