[ALSA] hwdep interface for pcm data
USB,USB USX2Y Implements 'rawusb' pcm data transfer through hwdep interface: The usb_hc moves pcm data from/into memory via DMA. That memory is mmaped by jack's usx2y driver. Jack's usx2y driver is the first/last executable code to read/write pcm data. Read/write is a combination of power of 2 period shaping and float/int conversation. Compared to standard alsa/jack we leave out power of 2 period shaping inside snd-usb-usx2y which needs memcpy() and additional buffers. As a side effect possible unwanted pcm-data coruption resulting of standard alsa's snd-usb-usx2y period shaping scheme falls away. Result is sane jack operation at buffering schemes down to 128frames, 2 periods. Also changed Kconfig file, so snd-usb-usx2y is only available for X86, PPC or ALPHA platforms, as on others DMA-memory isn't mmapable.
