The recent report for a crash on Haswell machines implied that the x86-specific (rather hackish) implementation for write-cache memory buffer allocation in ALSA core is buggy with the recent kernel in some corner cases. This patch drops the x86-specific implementation and uses the standard dma_alloc_wc() & co generically for avoiding the bug and also for simplification.

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.
