Subject: [PATCH 3.17 060/319] ALSA: hda - Add workaround for CMI8888 snoop behavior

3.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

commit 3b70bdba2fcb374a2235a56ab73334348d819579 upstream.

CMI8888 shows the stuttering playback when the snooping is disabled
on the audio buffer.  Meanwhile, we've got reports that CORB/RIRB
doesn't work in the snooped mode.  So, as a compromise, disable the
snoop only for CORB/RIRB and enable the snoop for the stream buffers.

The resultant patch became a bit ugly, unfortunately, but we still can
live with it.
