I've got empty 8Mb flash 25VF064C, what I don't use. So can I use it directly with my Pi?
Yes, I mean directly like /dev/mtd*.
If I can, then how? What do I have to install/recompile?

Nowadays you can just use device tree overlays what Raspberry Pi firmware supports.
In my case, adding dtoverlay=jedec-spi-nor,flash-spi0-0
to config.txt was enough to pull up /dev/mtd*0
I needed to edit boardconfig in kernel source.
If anyone else wants to get flash chip working, here's the patch: http://mikroskeem.insomnia247.nl/linux/raspberrypi-patches/mtdflash.patch
