Common ALSA module parameters look a little bit confusing because of the
description lacking, and it took me a while to understand the purpose of
their existence. To figure it out I asked the question about them to the
"alsa-devel" mailing list, and Takashi Iwai answered me with the text I
appended to the ALSA documentation in this patch.
These common module parameters aren't used a lot nowadays, but as I
understand they are important for providing compatibility with some
existing user-space apps. So in my opinion it is a good idea to document
why we need them.

For making easier to test, add the new quirk_flags bits 17 and 18 to
enable and disable the generic implicit feedback mode. The bit 17 is
equivalent with implicit_fb=1 option, applying the generic implicit
feedback sync mode. OTOH, the bit 18 disables the implicit fb mode
forcibly.

Currently, The fixed 512KB prealloc buffer size is too larger for
tiny memory kernel (such as 16MB memory). This patch adds the module
option "prealloc_buffer_size_kbytes" to specify prealloc buffer size.
It's suitable for cards which use the generic dmaengine pcm driver
with no config.

The recent quirk for WALKMAN (commit 7af5a14371c1: "ALSA: usb-audio:
Fix regression on Sony WALKMAN NW-A45 DAC") may be required for other
devices and is worth to be put into the common quirk flags.
This patch adds a new quirk flag bit QUIRK_FLAG_SET_IFACE_FIRST and a
quirk table entry for the device.

A new module option, implicit_fb, is added to specify the driver
looking for the implicit feedback sync. This can be useful for a
device that could be working better in the implicit feed back mode and
user wants to test it quickly. When this works, we can add the quirk
entry easily.

Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
If not .svg:
For each line:
If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
return 200 OK and serve the same content:
Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

Patrick May reported that his sound card with CMI8378 chip causes a
crash / reboot when accessing the MIDI port that isn't actually
present on the board. Moreover, despite of the documentation,
passing mpu_port=0 doesn't disable the MIDI port on this board.
It implies that the chip is a newer revision and the MPU401 port is
integrated and mapped on the PCI register. For this chip model, the
driver enables the MPU port unconditionally, so far.
Although fixing the unexpected reboot would be the best solution, it's
not so trivial to identify the cause. So, as a plan B, this patch
extends the existing mpu_port option usage to allow disabling the port
by specifying the value 0, just like we applied for fm_port option in
commit 2f24d159d5ac ("[ALSA] cmipci - Allow to disable integrated FM
port"). As default, the MPU port is still enabled, but user can pass
mpu_port=0 to disable it.

Currently, USB-audio driver allocates the PCM buffer via vmalloc(), as
this serves merely as an intermediate buffer that is copied to each
URB transfer buffer. This works well in general on x86, but on some
archs this may result in cache coherency issues when mmap is used.
OTOH, it works also on such arch unless mmap is used.
This patch is a step for mitigating the inconvenience; a new module
option "use_vmalloc" is provided so that user can choose to allocate
the DMA coherent buffer instead of the existing vmalloc buffer.
The drawback is that it'd be the standard dma_alloc_coherent() calls
and the system would require contiguous pages on non-x86 archs.
Note that it's a global option and not dynamically switchable since
the buffer is pre-allocated at the probe time. In theory, it's
possible to be switchable, but it'd be trickier and racier.
As default use_vmalloc option is set to true, so that the old behavior
is kept. For allowing the coherent mmap on ARM or MIPS, pass
use_vmalloc=0 option explicitly.
