When the misc partition is on an emmc device, recovery can get started
and try to access it before the kernel has actually created the
device. Try statting the device before reading or writing it; delay
up to 10 seconds waiting for the device to exist.

Remove the wacky notion of "roots" and "root paths" (those things that
look like "FOO:some/path" instead of just "/foo/some/path"). Let each
device specify its own table of available partitions and how to mount
them (needed for devices that use both MTD/yaffs2 and EMMC/ext4
partitions).
(Cherrypicked from gingerbread w/slight edits.)

Remove support for the HTC-specific "firmware" update command and the
corresponding edify function write_firmware_update(). This
functionality is now done by an edify extension library that lives in
vendor/htc.

When doing a firmware (radio or hboot) update on HTC devices, save the
recovery log in block 1 of the cache partition, before the firmware
image and the UI bitmaps. When we boot back into recovery after the
firmware update to reformat the cache partition, copy that log out of
cache before reformatting it and dump it into the current invocation's
log.
The practical upshot of all this is that we can see the log output
from radio and hboot updates.

hboot will apparently fail to install if the first block of the image
(the one pointed to by the offset in the block 0 header) is a bad
block. (Hopefully it handles subsequent bad blocks.)
This change makes the MTD write code keep track of the bad blocks it
has skipped over, so that the offset in the header can be adjusted to
be the address of the first successfully written block.
