hammerfall_mem.c - obsolete - to be removed

hammerfall_mem.c - obsolete - to be removed

[Jaroslav Kysela]

Hi,

	I think that hammerfall_mem.c should be removed from the ALSA 
tree, because we have unified preallocation / buffer cache system in 
the snd-page-alloc module (alsa-kernel/core/memalloc.c) which 
completely replaces the original single purpose code.

yep, the only thing to do is to test and debug it :)

Jaroslav,
   Is this true with Alsa 0.9.4? Should I remove the loading of this module?

Thanks,
Mark

and to verify that it has no dependencies on any other module ...

that's ok.  it has being used by other modules, too, and confirmed
that the module is independent.

anyway, if we use snd-page-alloc for hdsp and rme9652, these driver
are ought to be rewritten to use standard snd_prealloc_* functions.
