ALSA on MIPS platform

[Songmao Tian <tiansm@lemote.com>]

Hi,
    In 
http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2007-04/msg00114.html, 
Atsushi Nemoto pointed out the problem is discussed before, the thread 
can be found at http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/25/117. Thanks Atsushi Nemoto:)
    The problem is clear:
1. dma_alloc_noncoherent() return a non-cached address, and 
virt_to_page() need a cached logical addr (Have I named it right?)
2. mmaped dam buffer should be non-cached.

We have a ugly patch, but we want to solve the problem cleanly, so can 
anyone show me the way?

Regards,
Tian
