There are uncovered cases whether the card refcount introduced by the
commit a0830dbd isn't properly increased or decreased:
- OSS PCM and mixer success paths
- When lookup function gets NULL
This patch fixes these places.

For more strict protection for wild disconnections, a refcount is
introduced to the card instance, and let it up/down when an object is
referred via snd_lookup_*() in the open ops.
The free-after-last-close check is also changed to check this refcount
instead of the empty list, too.

Commit 4eeaaeaea (ALSA: core: add hooks for audio timestamps) added the
new audio_tstamp field to struct snd_pcm_status. However, struct
timespec requires 64-bit alignment, so the 64-bit compiler would insert
32 bits of padding before this field, which broke SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS
with error messages like this:
kernel: unknown ioctl = 0x80984120
To solve this, insert the padding explicitly so that it can be taken
into account when calculating the ABI structure size.

ALSA did not provide any direct means to infer the audio time for A/V
sync and system/audio time correlations (eg. PulseAudio).
Applications had to track the number of samples read/written and
add/subtract the number of samples queued in the ring buffer. This
accounting led to small errors, typically several samples, due to the
two-step process. Computing the audio time in the kernel is more
direct, as all the information is available in the same routines.
Also add new .audio_wallclock routine to enable fine-grain synchronization
between monotonic system time and audio hardware time.
Using the wallclock, if supported in hardware, allows for a
much better sub-microsecond precision and a common drift tracking for
all devices sharing the same wall clock (master clock).

A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:
| effect | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct. Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.
Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

This contains pretty many small commits covering fairly large range of
files in sound/ directory. Partly because of additional API support
and partly because of constantly developed ASoC and ARM stuff.
Some highlights:
- Introduced the helper function and documentation for exposing the
channel map via control API, as discussed in Plumbers; most of PCI
drivers are covered, will follow more drivers later
- Most of drivers have been replaced with the new PM callbacks (if
the bus is supported)
- HD-audio controller got the support of runtime PM and the support of
D3 clock-stop. Also changing the power_save option in sysfs kicks
off immediately to enable / disable the power-save mode.
- Another significant code change in HD-audio is the rewrite of
firmware loading code. Other than that, most of changes in HD-audio
are continued cleanups and standardization for the generic auto
parser and bug fixes (HBR, device-specific fixups), in addition to
the support of channel-map API.
- Addition of ASoC bindings for the compressed API, used by the
mid-x86 drivers.
- Lots of cleanups and API refreshes for ASoC codec drivers and
DaVinci.
- Conversion of OMAP to dmaengine.
- New machine driver for Wolfson Microelectronics Bells.
- New CODEC driver for Wolfson Microelectronics WM0010.
- Enhancements to the ux500 and wm2000 drivers
- A new driver for DA9055 and the support for regulator bypass mode.

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.
