Accelerate nand device in virtualization environment
Currently NAND device driver need 8 MMIO access for goldfish nand device access.
MMIO access is expensive in virtualization environment because each MMIO access
will cause a context switch from in-kernel module to qemu user space process.
Through introducing a new batch command, these multiple MMIO access can be
combined into one, thus improve virtualization perofrmance. The booting time in
KVM environment is reduced from 25~26 seconds to 20~21 seconds.
A kernel patch is required to utilize this new batch command.
The patched kernel will detect the batch support through a new flags in
goldfish nand device, while current kernel is not impacted.
