not a bad idea. but before doing this, we should check with the
appropriate kernel lieutenant. this seems to get rather close to the whole
point of memory zones that have been in the kernel for a while now. it
might be better to pursue a more generic kernel-level solution, rather
an ALSA specific module.

who shall we ask?
