Update the documentation for the newly introduced managed buffer
allocation mode accordingly. The old preallocation is no longer
recommended.

Currently we pass the artificial device pointer to the allocation
helper in the case of SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_CONTINUOUS for passing the GFP
flags. But all common cases are the allocations with GFP_KERNEL, and
it's messy to put this in each place.
In this patch, the memalloc core helper is changed to accept the NULL
device pointer and it treats as the default mode, GFP_KERNEL, so that
all callers can omit the complex argument but just leave NULL.

chip->ioport is dereferenced in two places, but the struct is
defined as follows:
struct mychip {
struct snd_card *card;
struct pci_dev *pci;
unsigned long port;
int irq;
};

We used to pass NULL to memory allocators for ISA devices due to
historical reasons. But we prefer rather a proper device object to be
assigned, so let's fix it by replacing snd_dma_isa_data() call with
card->dev reference, and kill snd_dma_isa_data() definition.

The PCM suspend procedure was changed for drivers, so that they don't
have to call snd_pcm_suspend*() in each callback any longer. Update
the documentation to adapt the changes.

Slightly brushing up and throw the old dust away from my ancient
writing-an-alsa-driver document. The contents aren't changed so much
but the obsoleted parts are dropped.
Also, remove the date and the version number. It's useless.

Another simple conversion from DocBook to ReST.
This required a few manual fixups and reformats, but the most of
contents are kept as is.

A simple conversion of alsa-driver-api document from DocBook to ReST.
It's moved to the new Documentation/sound/kernel-api subdirectory that
will contain other ALSA kernel API documents.
The GPL legal note was removed, as it's superfluous (and doesn't fit
with ReST kernel docs pretty well).
