The basic idea is taken from the linux-kernel, but further optimized.

First align the buffer to 8 bytes, then use ldrd/strd to read and store
in 8 byte quantities, then do the final bytes.

Tested using: 'date ; nand read.raw 0xE00000 0x0 0x10000 ; date'.
Without this patch, NAND read of 132MB took 49s (~2.69MB/s). With this
patch in place, reading the same amount of data was done in 27s
(~4.89MB/s). So read performance is increased by ~80%!

Which is it, v2 or v3?

Patch versioning goes inside the [], otherwise "git am" won't strip it
out of the patch subject (and Wolfgang doesn't like patch subjects being
edited while being applied).

Can someone ACK this from the ARM side?
