If we're sending bytes over SPI, we know the FIFO is empty at the start of the transfer. There's no reason to wait for the interrupt telling us to start--we can just start right away. Then if we transmit everything in one swell foop we don't even need to bother listening for TX interrupts. In a test of "flashrom -p ec -r /tmp/foo.bin" interrupts were reduced from ~30560 to ~29730, about a 3% savings. This patch looks bigger than it is because I moved a few functions rather than adding a forward declaration. The only actual change to geni_spi_handle_tx() was to make it return a bool indicating if there is more to tx.
