Usage of the same function prototype between core and driver implementation dedicates code lucidity. Especially, in a view of device driver developers, if core implementation includes functions with the prototype, it's good examples. In current design of ALSA PCM core, when devices doesn't use DMA between kernel space and device memory or platforms don't have good cache coherent protocol, then drivers need to have own implementation for data transmittion, without existent implementation inner ALSA PCM core. However, for this purpose, ALSA PCM core includes inefficient implementation. Additionally, in a point to which I addressed, it includes complicated codes. This commit introduces 'snd_pcm_copy_frames_t' to produce unified interface for the devices and core implementations.
