- [1] Make the driver friendly towards kernel without PREEMPTION.
Use msleep(9) instead of simple unlock-check_variable-lock mechanisme
since the later not really effective in non-preemptible kernel
(especially during codec detection routine).
- Free most driver resources in a sane manner to avoid possible
double free and panics especially during device detach and codec
detection failure.

- Determine open direction using 'flags', not 'mode'. This bug exist since
past 4 years.
- Don't allow opening the same device twice, be it in a same or different
direction.
- O_RDWR is allowed, provided that it is done by a single open (for example
by mixer(8)) and the underlying hardware support true full-duplex operation.
- Do various paranoid checking in case other process/thread trying to hijack
the same device twice (or more).

especially for vchans. It turns out that channel numbering always depend
on d->devcount counter (which keep increasing), while PCMMKMINOR() truncate
everything to 8bit length. At some point the truncation cause the newly
created character device overlapped with the existence one, causing erratic
overall system behaviour and panic. Easily reproduce with something like:
(Luckily, only root can reproduce this)
while : ; do
sysctl hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=200
sysctl hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=100
done
- Enforce channel/chardev numbering within 8bit boundary. Return E2BIG
if necessary.
- Traverse d->channels SLIST and try to reclaim "free" counter during channel
creation. Don't rely on d->devcount at all.
- Destroy vchans in reverse order.
Anyway, this is not the fault of vchans. It is just that vchans are so cute
and begging to be abused ;) . Don't blame her.
Old, hidden bugs.. sigh..

forcing DMA alignment to default buffer size.
- Make sure DMA pointer properly aligned to avoid being truncated by caller
which causing severe underruns and random popping (especially in 32bit
playback / recording).

(1) Fix DMA alignment, based on bytes per sample.
feeder_rate.c:
Handle strayed bytes (mostly caused by #1) better.
This DMA alignment issues are extremely hard to reproduce unless
the user happen to have a 32bit capable soundcards (ATI IXP) and
knowledgeable enough to force it to operate under pure 32bit
operations on both record and play directions.
feeder.h:
feeder.c:
- Implement scoring mechanisme to select best format for conversion.
This is actually part of newer format chaining procedures which
will be commited someday. Confusion during chaining process solved
by this scoring since it will try to reduce list of from/to formats
to a single, best format.
Related PR: kern/91683
channel.c:
- Simplify feeder building process since we have smarter format
chaining.
feeder_fmt.c:
- Add few more sign conversion feeders for 24 and 32 bit format.
feeder_rate.c:
- Force buffer / bytes allignment. Unaligned buffer may cause
panics during recording on pure 32bit sample format if it
involves feeder_rate as part of feeders chain.
Tested on: ATI IXP, force 32bit recording.

The minimum / maximum speed was way too low / high!

- Fix / reorganize attach routine. Device specific initialization must
be done after generic bus / DMA setup. At last, Virtual Channels
(vchan) works as expected.
Note: Recent commit / fix against this driver proves that major enhancements
on the generic sound layer does indeed help to expose flaw within
device specific code. There are probably other drivers that need to
be addressed as well.

This should reduce huge playback / recording latency for
applications that try to act smarter and manage their own
buffering (XMMS, Skype, etc.).
Note to Skype + via8xxx users: Remove previous hackish
"hint.pcm.<unit>.via_dxs_disabled" from kernel hint and see
whether this changes cure all those annoying sound issues.
