Andres Salomon efab0b5d3e [JFFS2] force the jffs2 GC daemon to behave a bit better
I've noticed some pretty poor behavior on OLPC machines after bootup, when
gdm/X are starting.  The GCD monopolizes the scheduler (which in turns
means it gets to do more nand i/o), which results in processes taking much
much longer than they should to start.

As an example, on an OLPC machine going from OFW to a usable X (via
auto-login gdm) takes 2m 30s.  The majority of this time is consumed by
the switch into graphical mode.  With this patch, we cut a full 60s off of
bootup time.  After bootup, things are much snappier as well.

Note that we have seen a CRC node error with this patch that causes the machine
to fail to boot, but we've also seen that problem without this patch.
