In some cases (mainly for x86), we need the DMA coherent buffer with
non-cached pages. Although this has been done in each driver side
like HD-audio and intel8x0, it can be done cleaner in the core memory
allocator.
This patch adds the new types, SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DEV_UC and
SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DEV_UC_SG, for allocating such non-cached buffer
pages. On non-x86 architectures, they work as same as the standard
SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DEV and *_SG.
One additional change by this move is that we can assure to pass the
non-cached pgprot to the vmapped buffer, too. It eventually fixes the
case like non-snoop mode without mmap access on HD-audio.

The functions snd_seq_oss_timer_delete() and vunmap() perform also input
parameter validation. Thus the test around the call is not needed.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Passing struct snd_dma_buffer pointer instead, so that they work no
matter whether real SG buffer is used or not.
This is a preliminary work for the HD-audio DSP loader code.

In snd_free_sgbuf_pags(), vunmap() is called after releasing the SG
pages, and it causes errors on Xen as Xen manages the pages
differently. Although no significant errors have been reported on
the actual hardware, this order should be fixed other way round,
first vunmap() then free pages.

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.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
