Hi,

the current alsa driver uses ioctl for read and write pcm data.
while writing the 32 -> 64 bit ioctl wrapper, i found that there might
be difference between ioctl and read/write wrt the performance on
SMP.
sys_ioctl() calls a global lock_kernel() during ioctl operation,
while read and write don't.
i'm not sure whether/how this affects.  did anybody investigate this
already?
