We do not need slab allocations anymore in order to satisfy
streaming DMA mapping constraints, thanks to commit da28947e7e
"firewire: ohci: avoid separate DMA mapping for small AT payloads".
(Besides, the slab-allocated buffers that firewire-core, firewire-sbp2,
and firedtv used to provide for 8-byte write and lock requests were
still not fully portable since they crossed cacheline boundaries or
shared a cacheline with unrelated CPU-accessed data. snd-firewire-lib
got this aspect right by using an extra kmalloc/ kfree just for the
8-byte transaction buffer.)
This change replaces kmalloc'ed lock transaction scratch buffers in
firewire-core, firedtv, and snd-firewire-lib by local stack allocations.
Perhaps the most notable result of the change is simpler locking because
there is no need to serialize usages of preallocated per-device buffers
anymore. Also, allocations and deallocations are simpler.

For correct cache coherency on some architectures, DMA buffers must be
allocated in a different cache line than data that is concurrently used
by the CPU.

Add a driver for two playback-only FireWire devices based on the OXFW970
chip.
v2: better AMDTP API abstraction; fix fw_unit leak; small fixes
v3: cache the iPCR value
v4: FireWave constraints; fix fw_device reference counting;
fix PCR caching; small changes and fixes
v5: volume/mute support; fix crashing due to pcm stop races
v6: fix build; one-channel volume for LaCie
v7: use signed values to make volume (range checks) work; fix function
block IDs for volume/mute; always use channel 0 for LaCie volume
