In case this causes trouble for some other chipsets add a comment how to
proceed. If we don't get bugreports, this should be removed after a while
(some releases?).

* 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.

handle DMA addresses located above 1GB. The LBA(loop begin address)
register which holds DMA base address is 32bits register. But the
MSB 2bits are used for other purposes. This effectivly limits the
DMA address space up to 1GB.

assign DMA address to the wrong address. It can cause system lockup
or other mysterious errors. Since most sound cards requires low DMA
address(BUS_SPACE_MAXADDR_24BIT) sndbuf_alloc() would fail when the
audio driver is loaded after long running of operations.

allocation. Notably, in this case, the driver tries to allocate several
pieces of memory and then fails if the pieces allocated after the first
do not come after it physically, and within a specific range (8MB I
believe). Of course, this could just as easily fail for any number of
reasons, but it almost always fails now that contiguous allocations start
at the end of possible specified memory locations rather than the beginning.
Allocate all the possibly-needed memory up front, even though it's a waste,
to get around this. The least bogus solution would be to take the physical
address from the first allocation and create a new tag that specified that
further allocations must follow it within that 8MB window, then use that
when allocating new channels, but that's left for anyone else that really
feels like doing it.

- `sound'
The generic sound driver, always required.
- `snd_*'
Device-dependent drivers, named after the sound module names.
Configure accordingly to your hardware.
In addition, rename the `snd_pcm' module to `sound' in order to sync
with the driver names.

exactly as done in the cmi driver. I am quite confident this is
safe since I'm runing this for more than two weeks now, on an SMP
box. A few people tested this patch for me successfully as well.
of you with other cards, please do review and test the drivers for
MP-safety and disable Giant in the interrupt routines when you are
sure of proper functionality.
because they bogusly check for defined(INTR_MPSAFE) -- something which
never was a #define. Correct the definitions.
This make INTR_TYPE_AV finally get used instead of the lower-priority
INTR_TYPE_TTY, so it's quite possible some improvement will be had
on sound driver performance. It would also make all the drivers
marked INTR_MPSAFE actually run without Giant (which does seem to
work for me), but:
INTR_MPSAFE HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM EVERY SOUND DRIVER!
It needs to be re-added on a case-by-case basis since there is no one
who will vouch for which sound drivers, if any, willy actually operate
correctly without Giant, since there hasn't been testing because of
this bug disabling INTR_MPSAFE.

This change has not been tested.
This change was triggered by a gcc(1) warning on ia64 at -O2. The
variable v was not used after being computed, which resulted in enough
dead code elimination (DCE) to confuse the compiler and emit a bogus
warning about the use of the variable i without prior definition. The
variable i is the loop variable.

This takes us a lot closer to refcounting dev_t.
This patch originally by cg@ with a few minor changes by me.
It is largely untested, but has been HEADSUP'ed twice, so presumably
people have not found any issues with it.

I started with a year-old patch by Orlando Bassotto
<orlando.bassotto@ieo-research.it>, and ported it to 5.2-CURRENT along with
fixing the problems working with pre-Audigy cards.
dsp_open: rearrange to only hold one lock at a time
dsp_close: ditto
mixer_hwvol_init: delete locking, the only consumer seems to
be the ess driver and it only call it a creation time, I
think the device will be stable across the sleepable malloc.
cmi interrupt routine: Release locks while caller chn_intr,
either this or do what emu10k1 does which is have no locks
at in the interrupt handler.
