this gives us several benefits, including:
* easier extensibility- new optional methods can be added to
ac97/mixer/channel classes without having to fixup every driver.
* forward compatibility for drivers, provided no new mandatory methods are
added.
change channel interface - kobj implementation coming soonish
make pcm_makelinks not panic if modular
add pcm_unregister()
these changes support newpcm kld unloading, but this is only implemented
by ds1.c
modify driver capability reporting format to list every audio format
seperately- required for above and because we could not previously indicate
that mono was unsupported.
there should be no functional impact.
<sys/bio.h>.
<sys/bio.h> is now a prerequisite for <sys/buf.h> but it shall
not be made a nested include according to bdes teachings on the
subject of nested includes.
Diskdrivers and similar stuff below specfs::strategy() should no
longer need to include <sys/buf.> unless they need caching of data.
Still a few bogus uses of struct buf to track down.

* add a callback for initialising the mixer interface
* support ac97 2.1 variable rate audio feature
fix ac97-using drivers for the above
add suspend/resume support for neomagic
is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot). This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago. More commits to come.
Also, optimize out a mess of #if's that were duplicating work already
done by config(8). For example, if a file is marked as
"dev/sound/pci/foo.c optional pcm pci" then it's only added if pcm *and*
pci are present, so #if NPCM > 0 and #if NPCI > 0 are totally redundant.
A bit more work is still needed.
Discussed with: cg (a few weeks ago)
mutate some panics to kasserts
add more spl protection

will have to mknod yourself for now.
* don't eat the first write()
* partial rvplayer fix- don't panic on unaligned writes unless our
feeder chain requires them for downconversion. a fuller fix is
on the way.
