[alsa-devel] ALSA on MIPS platform

Sorry, that aim at 2.6.18.

In the latest kernel:

 static inline unsigned long virt_to_phys(volatile const void *address)
 {
-       return (unsigned long)address - PAGE_OFFSET + PHYS_OFFSET;
+       return ((unsigned long)address & 0x1fffffff) + PHYS_OFFSET;
 }

I think virt_to_phys or __pa should accept kseg1 address.
