One more observation I've had is that using irqchip modelling for
the 2 NAND events causes a performance impact.
Using mtd_oobtest I see the following on dra7-evm
1) v4.2-rc4 with prefetch-polled (no IRQs used)
mtd_speedtest: eraseblock write speed is 7142 KiB/s
mtd_speedtest: eraseblock read speed is 13721 KiB/s
2) v4.2-rc4 with prefetch-irq (IRQchip model)
eraseblock write speed is 5475 KiB/s
eraseblock read speed is 6420 KiB/s
3) this series (*) with prefetch-irq (no IRQchip model, nand driver
directly accesses irqstatus/irqenable)
eraseblock write speed is 6564 KiB/s
eraseblock read speed is 10850 KiB/s
(*) diff at the end is required on top to fix an issue with this series.
So should we continue IRQchip modelling for the NAND events
or use the GPMC interrupt as shared and add APIs to access
the NAND bits of the IRQSTATUS/ENABLE register.
