AFAIK, the eraseall can't erase blocks already marked bad.

To do it i'm just comment out a 'goto' near "attempt to erase bad block" 
warning in drivers/mtd/nand/nand_base.c
Not the best way, though there were no appropriate ioctl to do it else.
You'll have to reboot after eraseall, since bad block list still reside 
in memory.
