[MTD] [NAND] subpage read feature as a way to increase performance.
This patch enables NAND subpage read functionality.
If upper layer drivers are requesting to read non page aligned data NAND
subpage-read functionality reads the only whose ECC regions which include
requested data when original code reads whole page.
This significantly improves performance in many cases.
Here are some digits :
UBI volume mount time
No subpage reads: 5.75 seconds
Subpage read patch: 2.42 seconds
Open/stat time for files on JFFS2 volume:
No subpage read 0m 5.36s
Subpage read 0m 2.88s
