YAFFS does not have multi-page r/w support. It would be pretty easy to add 
this at the low levels by just buffering up the writes and only actually 
doing the writes when you have enough pages.

An alternative is to structure the flash as larger "virtual pages" so that one 
virtual page maps to many flash pages.
