ALSA: seq: add an alternative way to handle ioctl requests
ALSA sequencer is designed with two types of clients; application and
kernel. Operations for each ioctl command should handle data in both of
user space and kernel space, while current implementation just allows them
to handle data in user space. Data in kernel space is handled with change
of address limit of running tasks.
This commit adds a new table to map ioctl commands to corresponding
functions. The functions get data in kernel space. Helper functions to
operate kernel and application clients seek entries from the table.
Especially, the helper function for application is responsible for coping
from user space to kernel space or vise versa.
