While I see the benefit, I feel this is very confusing.  If we use the
API for a generic use, it should be renamed at first.

Also, the current function actually follows the call pattern, and we
know in the caller side whether it's called for a kernel pointer or a
user pointer.  So, if any, the PCM core callbacks should be revised to
use a generic pointer instead of fiddling in each driver side.


thanks,

Takashi
