[PATCH 0/6] aspeed: avocado test boosts

[Cédric Le Goater]

Hello,

Alex's patchset [1] showed that by avoiding the class cast checkers in
hot code paths, performance is greatly improved. See results below.

This is a partial resend of [1] plus an extra caching a reference on
the AspeedSMC class, which adds an extra 10% boost.

Thanks ,

C.
