Thanks, so something still missing in the mmap handling, I guess.

I've worked on two different branches for potential fixes of your
problems.  Could you test topic/dma-fix and topic/dma-fix2 branches?
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git
Just pull one of them onto Linus' git HEAD.

I guess we'll go with David's new patch, but still it's interesting
whether my changes do anything good actually.
