Reducing the number of interrupts by page reads, part 1

[Sam Lefebvre]

The current implementation for gmpi nand flashes use existing libraries for composing                    
dma command chains in different pieces with mutliple interrupts. This invokes a lot of                   
unnecessary context switches. In order to make more optimal use of dma chaining capabilities
of the gpmi hardware, some rework must be performed to allow gpmi_ecc_read_page() submitting 
a range of dma's to reduce the interrupts from 4 to 1 for every page read.

In the current situation, a page read for large page incurs 4 interrupts:
- DMA for READ0
- DMA for READSTART
- DMA for reading of page data
- BCH
                                                                                                         
This series is the first part which contains some preparation work and primary modifications             
to reduce the number of interrrupts from 4 to 3 for each page read action by removing the
interrupt for READ0.                               

Some changes by Sasha Hauer are also adopted which contain some bugfixes and preliminary
cleanup of several parts in de code.
