* Add kernel hint option to disable DXS channels entirely. Report
from several skype users / Pav Lucistnik indicate that disabling
DXS may fix lots of pop / crackling noise. To disable DXS add
hint.pcm.<unit>.via_dxs_disabled="1" to /boot/device.hints.
Further investigation of the issues regarding DXS showed, that
the problem is in another (more generic) place, but until the
right fix is tested/reviewed this may help a little bit.
Added sysctl's to aid testing/debugging:
hint.pcm.<unit>.via_dxs_disabled=X - Disable / Enable DXS channels entirely
hint.pcm.<unit>.via_dxs_channels=X - Limit DXS channels up to X
hint.pcm.<unit>.via_sgd_channels=X - Limit SGD channels up to X
hint.pcm.<unit>.via_dxs_src=X - Enable / Disable DXS sample rate
converter.

especially for CT4730 / EV1938 chip, causing misconfigured mixer
(David Xu), crippled after power cycle (Kevin Oberman). Fixed.
* Incorporate locking/spdif patches from Jon Noack / matk. Not all
es137x can really do spdif, clean it up a bit to only let few capable
chip. This adds a "hw.snd.pcm<unit>.spdif_enabled" sysctl until
a more generic way of handling this from userland (by an ordinary
user) is designed/implemented.
* Convert all bus_space_(read|write) to use es_rd/es_wr, simmilar
with other drivers.
* Add tunable hw.snd.pcm<unit>.latency_timer sysctl to toggle pci
latency timer value on the fly. Much noise / pop / crackling
issues can be solved by increasing its value. Other people have
pointed out to use pciconf instead, but this is just an added
value specific for CT4730/EV1938.
* Remove es137x specific debug sysctl/code.
Several PRs can now be closed.

kenv environment in kern_environment.c switches to dynamic kenv. The prior
call sets the static variable hintp to the static hints in subr_hints.c
(hintmode==0).
However, changes to the environment are not detected by the resource_xxx
lookups after the change to dynamic kernel environment, so the lookup
routines only report the old stuff of hintmode==0, even after the change to
the dynamic kenv. This causes kenv users to see a different environment than
the kernel routines.
This is a problem in the mixer.c code that looks up initial mixer volume
settings from the hints: If the hints are dynamic and not from the
device.hints file, mixer.c doesn't see them, but kenv does.
The patch from the PR (modified to comply to the style of the function)
solves this.

This has no security implications since only root is allowed to use
kenv(1) (and corrupt the kernel memory after adding too much variables
previous to this commit).
This is based upon the PR [1] mentioned below, but extended to check both
bounds (in case of an overflow of the counting variable) and to comply
to the style of the function. An overflow of the counting variable
shouldn't happen after adding the check for the upper bound, but better
safe than sorry (in case some other function in the kernel overwrites
random memory).
An interested soul may want to add a printf to notify root in case the
bounds are hit.
Also allocate KENV_SIZE+1 entries (the array is NULL-terminated), since
the comment for KENV_SIZE says it's the maximum number of environment
strings. [2]

trap_subr.S: declare a stub for the a-unavailable trap
that does an absolute jump to the vector-assist trap.
This is due to the fact that the vec-unavail trap
doesn't start at a 256-byte boundary, so the trick of
masking the bottom 8 bits of the link register to identify
the interrupt doesn't work, so let the vec-assist
case handle Altivec-disabled for the time being.
Note that this will be fixed in the future with a much
smaller vector code-stub (< 16 bytes) that will allow
use of strange vector offsets that are also present in
4xx processors, and also allow smaller differences in
vector codepaths on the G5.
trap.c: Treat altivec-unavailable/assist process traps as SIGILL.
Not quite correct, since altivec-assist should really be a panic,
but it is fine for the moment due to the above measure.
machdep.c Install the stub code for the altivec-unavailable trap, and
the standard trap code at the altivec-assist.

the initial commit of the delete-old feature:
One of the design goals of the recently committed way of removing obsolete
files was to *not* remove a file which we never had in the base system (I'm
not sure I mentioned this in the commit log). So if an administrator decides
to move something to somewhere in the base system (for whatever reason), it
will stay where it is (and this is good, since this move was done with a
specific purpose).
