This is not really related to the dmaengine pcm driver. It's more of a
coincidence that all upstream drivers which use the dmaengine pcm driver
also use write-combined memory. In my opinion it would be better to add this
to the ALSA core. Now that there is a generic dma_mmap_writecombine it may
make sense to integrate this with snd_pcm_lib_default_mmap.
