This is from Adrian hunter and modified for write_ops operation.

It's similar with load-while-read method.
but it's write side performance improvement.

Here's brief performance results.
Note: Measured from OMAP3 with async OneNAND mode. (not sync mode)

=================================================================
speedtest: dev = 3
speedtest: Size=16777216  EB size=131072  Write size=2048  EB count=128
		Pages per EB=64  Page size=2048
speedtest: scanning for bad blocks
speedtest: scanned 0
speedtest: scanned 128, found 0 bad
speedtest: erasing
speedtest: erased 0
speedtest: erased 128
speedtest: Testing eraseblock write speed
eraseblock write speed is 2424 KiB/s
speedtest: Testing eraseblock read speed
eraseblock read speed is 11985 KiB/s
speedtest: Testing page write speed
page write speed is 2493 KiB/s
speedtest: Testing page read speed
page read speed is 11586 KiB/s
speedtest: Testing 2 page write speed
2 page write speed is 2681 KiB/s
speedtest: Testing 2 page read speed
2 page read speed is 10922 KiB/s
speedtest: Testing erase speed
erase speed is 192752 KiB/s
speedtest: speedtest finished
=================================================================

Also it's passed all nand-tests.
