Optimize the scan index for the differential channels. Before, it
was single channel count + index of the first single channel
number of the differential pair. (e.g. 11+0, +2, +4, etc.)
Divide that number by two (since it's always even), and add it up
as a scan index to have consecutive numbered channels in the
index.

Why?  This is odd as it stands, but that isn't a strong enough reason
to fix it.

This is making a userspace ABI change.  We need a very strong
argument for why it is necessary and also why existing userspace
won't care.
