dahdi_receive, dahdi_transmit, and dahdi_ec_span are mostly called from
interrupt context anyway, so we can save a few cycles by not saving and
restoring the interrupt flags for every channel.
On one 2.40GHz Xeon test machine, for a span with 24 channels w/o echocan
enabled with ~10000 samples:
Function Avg Before Avg After
======================================
dahdi_receive 2.109 us 1.547 us
dahdi_transmit 3.203 us 2.766 us
dahdi_ec_span 0.416 us 0.454 us
NOTE: The time went up slightly on dahdi_ec_span since I did not have
software echocan enabled and this change calls local_irq_save regardless
in dahdi_ec_span. The slight increase in processing time in this case
is overshadowed by the savings in dahdi_receive and dahdi_transmit. If
echocan was enabled on all the channels there would be a time savings
in that dahdi_ec_span too.
When dahdi_receive/dahdi_transmit are called every millisecond (when
DAHDI_CHUNKSIZE == 8) this saves ~0.1% CPU time for each span.
