[MTD] [NAND] atmel_nand speedup via {read,write}s{b,w}()
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 MiB read by 16%. ("dd" /dev/mtd0 to /dev/null, with an 8-bit NAND using hardware ECC and 128KiB 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).
