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.

Kill snd_assert() in sound/core/*, either removed or replaced with
if () with snd_BUG_ON().

This header file exists only for some hacks to adapt alsa-driver
tree. It's useless for building in the kernel. Let's move a few
lines in it to sound/core.h and remove it.
With this patch, sound/driver.h isn't removed but has just a single
compile warning to include it. This should be really killed in
future.

- Add the linked list to each proc entry to enable a single-shot
disconnection (unregister)
- Deprecate snd_info_unregister(), use snd_info_free_entry()
- Removed NULL checks of snd_info_free_entry()

PCM Midlevel,CA0106 driver,EMU10K1/EMU10K2 driver
Fix by Guillaume Chazarain <guichaz@yahoo.fr>:
Some tunables in /proc have a write() function, but as their
permission does not reflect it, it can be confusing to the user.
So here is a patch that corrects the mode of those files. Note that I
have only tested the 'xrun_debug' entry.

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!
