there is no reason to keep this flag. Let's rip it off.

This patch implements the basic data types for the standard channel
mapping API handling.
- The definitions of the channel positions and the new TLV types are
added in sound/asound.h and sound/tlv.h, so that they can be
referred from user-space.
- Introduced a new helper function snd_pcm_add_chmap_ctls() to create
control elements representing the channel maps for each PCM
(sub)stream.
- Some standard pre-defined channel maps are provided for
convenience.

In the PCM read/write loop, the driver calls snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr()
at each time at the beginning of the loop. Russell King reported that
this hogs CPU significantly.
The current code assumes that the pointer callback is very fast and
cheap, also not too much fine grained. It's not true in all cases.
When the pointer advances short samples while the read/write copy has
been performed, the driver updates the hw_ptr and gets avail > 0
again. Then it tries to read/write these small chunks. This repeats
until the avail really gets to zero.
For avoiding this situation, a simple workaround is to call
snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr() only once at starting the loop, assuming that
the read/write copy is performed fast enough. If the available count
becomes short, it goes to snd_pcm_wait_avail() anyway, and this
processes right.

wait_for_avail() in pcm_lib.c has a race in it (observed in practice by an
Intel validation group).
The function is supposed to return once space in the buffer has become
available, or if some timeout happens. The entity that creates space (irq
handler of sound driver and some such) will do a wake up on a waitqueue
that this function registers for.
However there are two races in the existing code
1) If space became available between the caller noticing there was no
space and this function actually sleeping, the wakeup is missed and the
timeout condition will happen instead
2) If a wakeup happened but not sufficient space became available, the
code will loop again and wait for more space. However, if the second
wake comes in prior to hitting the schedule_timeout_interruptible(), it
will be missed, and potentially you'll wait out until the timeout
happens.
The fix consists of using more careful setting of the current state (so
that if a wakeup happens in the main loop window, the schedule_timeout()
falls through) and by checking for available space prior to going into the
schedule_timeout() loop, but after being on the waitqueue and having the
state set to interruptible.

When period interrupts are disabled, snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0() compares
the current time against the time estimated for the current hardware
pointer to detect xruns. The somewhat fuzzy threshold in the while loop
makes it possible that hdelta becomes negative; the comparison being
done with unsigned types then makes the loop go through the entire 263
negative range, and, depending on the value, never reach an unsigned
value that is small enough to stop the loop. Doing this with interrupts
disabled results in the machine locking up.
To prevent this, ensure that the loop condition uses signed types for
both operands so that the comparison is correctly done.
Many thanks to Kelly Anderson for debugging this.

When period wakeups are disabled, successive calls to the pointer update
function do not have a maximum allowed distance, so xruns cannot be
detected with the pointer value only.
To detect xruns, compare the actually elapsed time with the time that
should have theoretically elapsed since the last update. When the
hardware pointer has wrapped around due to an xrun, the actually elapsed
time will be too big by about hw_ptr_buffer_jiffies.

This patch allows to disable period interrupts which are
not needed when the application relies on a system timer
to wake-up and refill the ring buffer. The behavior of
the driver is left unchanged, and interrupts are only
disabled if the application requests this configuration.
The behavior in case of underruns is slightly different,
instead of being detected during the period interrupts the
underruns are detected when the application calls
snd_pcm_update_avail, which in turns forces a refresh of the
hw pointer and shows the buffer is empty.
More specifically this patch makes a lot of sense when
PulseAudio relies on timer-based scheduling to access audio
devices such as HDAudio or Intel SST. Disabling interrupts
removes two unwanted wake-ups due to period elapsed events
in low-power playback modes. It also simplifies PulseAudio
voice modules used for speech calls.

When using poll() to wait for the next period -- or avail_min samples --
one gets a consistent delay for each system call that is usually just a
little short of the selected period time. However, When using
snd_pcm_read/write(), one gets a jittery delay that alternates between
less than a millisecond and approximately two period times. This is
caused by snd_pcm_lib_{read,write}1() transferring any available samples
to the user's buffer and adjusting the application pointer prior to
sleeping to the end of the current period. When the next period
interrupt occurs, there is then less than avail_min samples remaining to
be transferred in the period, so we end up sleeping until a second
period occurs.
This is solved by using runtime->twake as the number of samples needed
for a wakeup in addition to selecting the proper wait queue to wake in
snd_pcm_update_state(). This requires twake to be non-zero when used
by snd_pcm_lib_{read,write}1() even if avail_min is zero.

In the cleanup of the hw_ptr update functions in 2.6.33, the calculation
of the delta value was changed to use the modulo operator to protect
against a negative difference due to the pointer wrapping around at the
boundary.
However, the ptr variables are unsigned, so a negative difference would
result in the two complement's value which has no relation to the actual
difference relative to the boundary; the result is typically some value
near LONG_MAX-boundary. Furthermore, even if the modulo operation would
be done with signed types, the result of a negative dividend could be
negative.
The invalid delta value is then caught by the following checks, but this
means that the pointer update is ignored.
To fix this, use a range check as in the other pointer calculations.

Commit 7910b4a1db in 2.6.34 changed the
runtime->boundary calculation to make this value a multiple of both the
buffer_size and the period_size, because the latter is assumed by the
runtime->hw_ptr_interrupt calculation.
However, due to the lack of a ioctl that could read the software
parameters before they are set, the kernel requires that alsa-lib
calculates the boundary value, too. The changed algorithm leads to
a different boundary value used by alsa-lib, which makes, e.g., mplayer
fail to play a 44.1 kHz file because the silence_size parameter is now
invalid; bug report:
<https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=5015>.
This patch reverts the change to the boundary calculation, and instead
fixes the hw_ptr_interrupt calculation to be period-aligned regardless
of the boundary value.

Clemens Ladisch noted for hw_ptr_removal in "cleanup & merge hw_ptr
update functions" commit:
"It is possible for the status/delay ioctls to be called when the sound
card's pointer register alreay shows a position at the beginning of the
new period, but immediately before the interrupt is actually executed.
(This happens regularly on a SMP machine with mplayer.) When that
happens, the code thinks that the position must be at least one period
ahead of the current position and drops an entire buffer of data."
Return back the hw_ptr_interrupt variable. The last interrupt pointer
is always computed from the latest hw_ptr instead of tracking it
separately (in this case all hw_ptr checks and modifications might
influence also hw_ptr_interrupt and it is difficult to keep it
consistent).

The first loop calculates div_down(num, freq->min) which is 125.
Thus, a frequency range's minimum value is 1000000 / 125 = 8000 Hz.
The second loop calculates div_up(num, freq->max) which is 126
