This patch adds the vmalloc buffer support to ALSA memalloc core. A new type, SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_VMALLOC was added. The vmalloc buffer has been already supported in the PCM via a few own helper functions, but the user sometimes get confused and misuse them. With this patch, the whole buffer management is integrated into the memalloc core, so they can be used in a sole common way.

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.
