Hi,
this is a revised patchset that is applied on top of the current for-next branch, in order to optimize the appl_ptr sync on x86-64, adapting the alsa-lib side change by Sakamoto-san's patchset.
Basically it adds a new ioctl for receiving the supported PCM protocol version from user-space side, and change the mmap code to allow only disabling the PCM status record depending on the supported protocol version. The former patch is identical with the previous version, only the latter one differs.
The corresponding alsa-lib patch will follow.
thanks,
Takashi

I note that the idea of USER_PVERSION ioctl is itself worth for the other interfaces/protocols such as control. In the interfaces/protocols, many structures have reserved members. As Iwai-san described in the first patch, when changing them to utilize these reserved members, this idea is a solution to balance compatibility and extensibility.
