Add new hw_params flag to explicitly tell driver that rewinds will never be used. This can be used by low-level driver to optimize DMA operations and reduce power consumption. Use this flag only when data written in ring buffer will never be invalidated, e.g. any update of appl_ptr is final.
Note that the update of appl_ptr include both a read/write data operation as well as snd_pcm_forward() whose behavior is not modified.
Caveat: there is currently no way to query capabilities without opening a pcm stream, so applications might need to serially open all exposed devices, check what they support by looking at hw_params->info and close them (this is what PulseAudio does so might not be an issue)
This is a general issue in the current PCM API design, and not specific to this new bit.
Will remove this from commit message.

return 0;Better to return an error instead?
As the number of frames rewinded is zero, it looks appropriate. Any reason why returning an error code would help?
