[RFC v2 00/xx] ALSA: ALSA: add snd_pcm_is_playback/capture()

Hi Iwai-san, Mark Cc Sakamoto-san, Amadeusz, Pierre-Louis

It seems we can use _Generic() more simply, v2 RFC is using it. I'm not 100% sure but unfortunately we can't use bit-field with _Generic() in gcc (clang seems possible to handle it ?). pci/ac97 is the only user of bit-field direction.

To avoid posting patch-bomb, I will post main patch and some sample patches as RFC. Please review it.
