Yaah, this seems really simple. Thanks for suggestion.
If I understand it fully, the new apis will be declare in sound/pcm.h,
implement it in pcm_native.c and use the config variable
CONFIG_SND_PCM_WRITECOMBINE_BUFFER for ifdef.

This will be selected in required sound/soc driver so they can use it
like powerpc (for fsl) and ARM arch based soc.
