c86d13a3e1 beginnings of virtual playback channel support
instead of using two malloced arrays for storing channel lists, use an
slist.  convert the sndstat device to use sbufs and optionally provide more
detail about channel state.

vchans are software mixed playback channels.  they are not enabled by this
commit.  they use the feeder infrastructure to emulate normal playback
channels in a manner transparent to applications, whilst providing as many
channels are desired, especially suitable for devices with only one hardware
playback channel.  in the future they will provide additional features.

those wishing to test this functionality will need to add vchan.c to
sys/conf/files and use 'sysctl -w hw.snd.pcm0.vchans' to enable it.

blocksize and auto-rate selection are not yet supported.

this introduces a new buffering mechanism which results in dramatic
simplification of the channel manager.

as several structures have changed, we take the opportunity to move their
definitions into the source files where they are used, make them private and
de-typedef them.

the sound drivers are updated to use snd_setup_intr instead of
bus_setup_intr, and to comply with the de-typedefed structures.

the ac97, mixer and channel layers have been updated with finegrained
locking, as have some drivers- not all though.  the rest will follow soon.

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.
