A major source of overhead in the enc28j60 driver is the SPI transfers. Each
SPI transfer entails two kernel thread context switches. One major source of
SPI transfers is the enc28j60_set_bank() functions which runs before every
register access. This patch reduces the number of SPI transfers that
enc28j60_set_bank() performs in two ways:
1. removes unnecessary bank switch for the registers that are present in all
banks
2. when switching from banks 0 or 3 to banks 1 or 2 (i.e. only one bit
changes) enc28j60_set_bank() does only one SPI transfer instead of two
According to my tests these changes reduce the number of SPI transfers in
about 25%.

| netdevice zd1201: Convert directly reference of netdev->priv to netdev_priv()
|
| We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
| 1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
| 2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
| netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
| But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
| directly.
|
| OK, becasue Dave S. Miller said, "every direct netdev->priv usage is a bug",
| and I want to kill netdev->priv later, I decided to convert all the direct
| reference of netdev->priv first.
|
| (Original patch posted by Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> w/ above
| changelog but using dev->ml_priv. That doesn't seem appropriate
| to me for this driver, so I've revamped it to use netdev_priv()
| instead. -- JWL)
This commit changed the allocation of netdev, but didn't change
the free method of it.
This causes "zd" be used after the memory, which is pointed by "zd", being
freed by free_netdev().

Whenever we want to update the status field in a BD, we usually want to
update the length field, too. By combining them into one 32-bit field, we
reduce the number of stores to memory shared with the controller, and we
eliminate the need for order-enforcement, as the length and "READY" bit are
now updated atomically at the same time.

The gianfar Buffer Descriptors are arranged in a circular array, the end of
which is denoted by setting the "WRAP" bit in the descriptor. However, the
software knows the end of the ring because it knows how many descriptors are
there. Rather than check each descriptor for whether the WRAP bit is set,
use pointer math to determine where the next BD is. This is also useful for
when we want to look at BDs other than the very next one (for Scatter-Gather).
