ALSA: pcm: Direct in-kernel read/write support
Now all materials are ready, let's allow the direct in-kernel read/write, i.e. a kernel-space buffer is passed for read or write, instead of the normal user-space buffer. This feature is used by OSS layer and UAC1 driver, for example. The __snd_pcm_lib_xfer() takes in_kernel argument that indicates the in-kernel buffer copy. When this flag is set, another transfer code is used. It's either via copy_kernel PCM ops or the normal memcpy(), depending on the driver setup. As external API, snd_pcm_kernel_read(), *_write() and other variants are provided. That's all. This support is really simple because of the code refactoring until now.
