This issue has been present for quite some time, now as
certain gpmc patches got merged recently (during the
ongoing merge window), this should be gone.

I vaguely remember that once while checking irq mode (not mainline,
on am335x-evm), speed was less compared to default, so I doubt whether
you get any performance gains, anyway it would be good to know
performance results in your case.

With mainline HEAD, you should be able to use irq.

Now it is no more.

Once DMA was checked, but found it slower than other two, not sure
whether I was doing anything wrong. Right now don't have any
suggestions, if I come across any will let you know.
