For S24_LE, it is 512KB, the point is that if we can't re-allocate 
buffer at hw_params() stage, then we need follow a BKM that we have to 
preallocate the largest DMA buffer that we claim to support at 
pcm_new(), I think this is actually another kind of wast with these 
largest pinned buffer that can't be swapped out...
