Nowadays we have CMA for obtaining the contiguous memory pages
efficiently. Let's kill the old kludge for reserving the memory pages
for large buffers. It was rarely useful (only for preserving pages
among module reloading or a little help by an early boot scripting),
used only by a couple of drivers, and yet it gives too much ugliness
than its benefit.

When running a 32bit kernel the hda_intel driver is still reporting
a 64bit dma_mask if the HW supports it.
From sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:
/* allow 64bit DMA address if supported by H/W */
if ((gcap & ICH6_GCAP_64OK) && !pci_set_dma_mask(pci, DMA_BIT_MASK(64)))
pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(pci, DMA_BIT_MASK(64));
else {
pci_set_dma_mask(pci, DMA_BIT_MASK(32));
pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(pci, DMA_BIT_MASK(32));
}
which means when there is a call to dma_alloc_coherent from
snd_malloc_dev_pages a machine address bigger than 32bit can be returned.
This can be true in particular if running the 32bit kernel as a pv dom0
under the Xen Hypervisor or PAE on bare metal.
The problem is that when calling setup_bdle to program the BLE the
dma_addr_t returned from the dma_alloc_coherent is wrongly truncated
from snd_sgbuf_get_addr if running a 32bit kernel:
static inline dma_addr_t snd_sgbuf_get_addr(struct snd_dma_buffer *dmab,
size_t offset)
{
struct snd_sg_buf *sgbuf = dmab->private_data;
dma_addr_t addr = sgbuf->table[offset >> PAGE_SHIFT].addr;
addr &= PAGE_MASK;
return addr + offset % PAGE_SIZE;
}
where PAGE_MASK in a 32bit kernel is zeroing the upper 32bit af addr.
Without this patch the HW will fetch the 32bit truncated address,
which is not the one obtained from dma_alloc_coherent and will result
to a non working audio but can corrupt host memory at a random location.
The current patch apply to v3.13-rc3-74-g6c843f5

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...

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.

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.

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!
