[PATCH] atmel_nand speedup via {read,write}s{b,w}()

From: David Brownell
Date: Mon Jun 09 2008 - 06:13:28 EST


This uses __raw_{read,write}s{b,w}() primitives to access data on NAND
chips for more efficient I/O.

On an arm926 with memory clocked at 100 MHz, this reduced the elapsed
time for a 64 MByte read by 16%. ("dd" /dev/mtd0 to /dev/null, with
an 8-bit NAND using hardware ECC and 128KB blocksize.)

Also some minor section tweaks:

- Use platform_driver_probe() so no pointer to probe() lingers
after that code has been removed at run-time.

- Use __exit and __exit_p so the remove() code will normally be
removed by the linker.

Since these buffer read/write calls are new, this increases the runtime
code footprint (by 88 bytes on my build, after the section tweaks).
