[PATCH 0/2] ALSA: memalloc: Fix for Xen PV and non-IOMMU systems

Hi,

this is a patch series to address the recent regression on Xen PV (and
possibly non-IOMMU) systems about the SG-buffer memory allocation.
We switched to use dma_alloc_noncontiguous() as hoped it handling
everything right, but it turned out that this doesn't work always.
So this is one step back, use the explicit SG-buffer with
dma_alloc_coherent() calls, but in a bit more optimized ways, and also
applying only for those systems.
