I've added the patch below to the end of the series now, will repost
the series  after no more comments come in for this version.
Having a single patch to update the version seems better than updating
it multiple times with each patch touching the ABI in this series.

    ALSA: bump uapi version number

    Change SNDRV_PCM_VERSION to indicate the addition of the time64
    version of the mmap interface and these ioctl commands:

    SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SYNC
    SNDRV_RAWMIDI_IOCTL_STATUS
    SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS
    SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS_EXT
    SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_TREAD
    SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_STATUS

    32-bit applications built with 64-bit time_t require both the headers
    and the running kernel to support at least API version 2.0.15. When
    built with earlier kernel headers, some of these may not work
    correctly, so applications are encouraged to fail compilation like

     #if SNDRV_PCM_VERSION < SNDRV_PROTOCOL_VERSION(2, 0, 15)
     extern int __fail_build_for_time_64[sizeof(long) - sizeof(time_t)];
     #endif

    or provide their own updated copy of the header file.
