compatible AC97 codec.
- As the driver supports so many variants, create a table ids for
ease of probing and maintenance.

- From luigi:
The code to compute fragment sizes in the ich driver almost
invariably ends up using the full buffer available, no matter
how the user specifies fragment size and number.
With audio telephony (8khz, 16bit-stereo) and the 16k buffer
size this results in an unbearable 500ms delay.
This patch makes sure that we never use more than 4 fragments,
(i don't think we need more unless there are huge interrupt
servicing latencies), and obey to the requested fragment size,
so that latency is acceptable.
Based on this (and after much regression tests), I can conclude
that this driver works best with 2 fragments, thus solving various
long standing issues of ICH driver not capable to flush or play
short files perfectly.
Suggested by: luigi (the idea of smaller fragments)
- MPSAFE conversion.
