Looking through your patch, I think an easier integration is just to
add writecombine option to memalloc.c which calls
dma_alloc_writecombine() instead of dma_alloc_coherent().

The addition for mmap is still an open question.  Again, an easier
option so far looks like just add the call of dma_alloc_writecombine()
in snd_pcm_lib_default_mmap().  Alternatively, we can create an
individual mmap pcm_ops as we discussed.

Below is a totally untested patch, but you can imagine what I meant.

After this change, replace with snd_pcm_lib_malloc_pages with
SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DEV_WC, and that's all you need in the driver side.
