It turned out that we can't use gen_pool_*() functions on archs
without CONFIG_GENERIC_ALLOCATOR (resulting in missing symbols), since
linux/genalloc.h doesn't provide dummy functions for all.  We'd be
able to fix linux/genalloc.h size, but I take an easier path for
now...

<title>ALSA: Add SoC on-chip internal ram support for DMA buffer allocation</title>

Now it's quite common that an SoC contains its on-chip internal RAM.
By using this RAM space for DMA buffer during audio playback/record,
we can shutdown the voltage for external RAM to save power.

So add new DEV type with iram malloc()/free() and accordingly modify
current default mmap() for the iram circumstance.

Some audio drivers are calling snd_dma_continuous_data(GFP_KERNEL)
which makes "sparse" give a warning:

  $ make C=2 M=sound/usb modules
    ...
  sound/usb/6fire/pcm.c:625:25: warning: cast from restricted gfp_t
  sound/usb/caiaq/audio.c:845:41: warning: cast from restricted gfp_t

  sound/usb/usx2y/usx2yhwdeppcm.c:778:54: warning: cast from restricted gfp_t

Add __force to the cast to silence the warning.

Using SG-buffers with dma_alloc_coherent() is often very inefficient
on non-coherent architectures because a tracking record could be
allocated in addition for each dma_alloc_coherent() call.
Instead, simply disable SG-buffers but just allocate normal continuous
buffers on non-supported (currently all but x86) architectures.

<title>ALSA: Allocate larger pages in sgbuf</title>

<content type='text'>
Most hardwares have limited buffer-descriptor table length.  This
also restricts the max buffer size of the sound driver.
For example, snd-hda-intel has 1MB buffer size limit, and this is
because it can have at most 256 BDL entries.  For supporting larger
buffers, we need to allocate larger pages even for sg-buffers.

This patch changes the sgbuf allocation code to try to allocate
larger pages first.  At each head of the allocated pages, the
number of allocated pages is stored in the lowest bits of the
corresponding entry of the table addr field.  This change isn't
visible as long as the driver uses snd_sgbuf_get_addr() helper.

Also, the patch adds a new function, snd_pcm_sgbuf_get_chunk_size().
This returns the size of the chunk on continuous pages starting at
the given position offset.  If the chunk reaches to a non-continuous
page, it returns the size to the boundary.
