A. I change old "PACKAL" like style for put data into packet to "C" style.


I added only for test purposes this function:

/* ------------------------------------ */
test (struct ncp_conn *_conn,
		 __u8 _dir_handle, const char *_name,
		 __u32 _object_id, __u16 _rights, __u16 _rights_mask)
{
	long result;

	ncp_init_request_s(_conn, 12);
	ncp_add_byte(_conn, 0);	/*??? name space */
	ncp_add_byte(_conn, 0);	/*??? */
	ncp_add_word_lh(_conn, 0x8000);	/*??? search attribs */
	ncp_add_word_lh(_conn, _rights_mask);	/* lh or hl ? */
	ncp_add_byte(_conn, 1);	/*??? */
	ncp_add_byte(_conn, 0);	/*??? */
	ncp_add_byte(_conn, _dir_handle);
	ncp_add_dword_lh(_conn, 0x00000000);	/* lh or hl ? */
	ncp_add_pstring2(_conn, _name, 299);
	ncp_add_dword_hl(_conn, _object_id);
	ncp_add_word_lh(_conn, _rights);

/*	result = ncp_request(_conn, 87); */
	ncp_unlock_conn(_conn);
	return result;
}

/* ------------------------------------ */

into  ../lib/ncplib.c in version 2.2.0.  Then in a loop of
1000 * 10000 times I call this function and result is 221 [sec] to
154 [sec] over i486(120 Mhz).
In new version time for fill of packet is only 69.68% of time of old version.

B. I renamed old function ncp_add_XXX to assert_ncp_add_XXX and
make new ncp_add_XXX without call to assert_conn_locked(....).
