The DMA-coherent SG-buffer is tricky to use, as it does need the mapping. It used to work stably on x86 over years (and that's why we had enabled SG-buffer on solely x86) with the default mmap handler and vmap(), but our luck seems no forever success. The chance of breakage is high when the special DMA handling is introduced in the arch side. In this patch, we change the buffer allocation to use the SG-buffer only when the device in question is with the direct DMA. It's a bit hackish, but it's currently the only condition that may work (more or less) reliably with the default mmap and vmap() for mapping the pages that are deduced via virt_to_page(). In theory, we can apply the similar hack in the sound/core memory allocation helper, too; but it's used by SOF for allocating SG pages without re-mapping via vmap() or mmap, and it's fine to use it in that way, so let's keep it and adds the workaround in PCM side.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
