General
-------
- Multichannel safe, endian safe, format safe
* Large part of critical pcm filters such as vchan.c, feeder_rate.c,
feeder_volume.c, feeder_fmt.c and feeder.c has been rewritten so that
using them does not cause the pcm data to be converted to 16bit little
endian.
* Macrosses for accessing pcm data safely are defined within sound.h in
the form of PCM_READ_* / PCM_WRITE_*
* Currently, most of them are probably limited for mono/stereo handling,
but the future addition of true multichannel will be much easier.
- Low latency operation
* Well, this require lot more works to do not just within sound driver,
but we're heading towards right direction. Buffer/block sizing within
channel.c is rewritten to calculate precise allocation for various
combination of sample/data/rate size. As a result, applying correct
SNDCTL_DSP_POLICY value will achive expected latency behaviour simmilar
to what commercial 4front driver do.
* Signal handling fix. ctrl+c of "cat /dev/zero > /dev/dsp" does not
result long delay.
* Eliminate sound truncation if the sound data is too small.
DIY:
1) Download / extract
http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/lowlatency/shortfiles.tar.gz
2) Do a comparison between "cat state*.au > /dev/dsp" and
"for x in state*.au ; do cat $x > /dev/dsp ; done"
- there should be no "perceivable" differences.
Double close for PR kern/31445.
CAVEAT: Low latency come with (unbearable) price especially for poorly
written applications. Applications that trying to act smarter
by requesting (wrong) blocksize/blockcount will suffer the most.

- Switch minimum/maximum sampling rate limit to "1" and "2016000" (48k * 42)
due to closer compatibility with 4front driver.

- All driver specific sysctls in the form of "hw.snd.pcm%d.*" have been
moved to their own dev sysctl nodes, notably:
hw.snd.pcm%d.vchans -> dev.pcm.%d.vchans
Bump __FreeBSD_version.

- Ditto for sysctls.
- snd_atiixp, snd_es137x, snd_via8233, snd_hda
* Numerous cleanups and fixes.
* _EXPERIMENTAL_ polling mode support using simple callout_* mechanisme.
This was intended for pure debugging and latency measurement, but proven
good enough in few unexpected and rare cases (such as problematic shared
IRQ with GIANT devices - USB). Polling can be enabled/disabled through
dev.pcm.0.polling. Disabled by default.
- snd_ich
* Fix possible overflow during speed calibration. Delay final
initialization (pcm_setstatus) after calibration finished.

Thanks to various people, notably Joel Dahl, Yuriy Tsibizov, Kevin Oberman,
those at #freebsd-azalia @ freenode and others for testing.
Joel Dahl will do the manpage update.
- incorporate csjp's fix for a mishandled endian conversion
- convert PAGE_SIZE to 4096 for PCIe adapter workaround (my page size is not 4k)
- implement em_read_pcie_cap_reg where we set the max read size on pcie to 4k (taken from mxge)

I have been debugging the usb problems some more. Your were
right in your assumption (thanks for the pointer) about lack
of calls to bus_dmamap_sync(). In usbdi.c bus_dmamap_sync()
does get used for transfers that move data from PC to USB and
it is used for transfers that move data from USB to PC. But
someone forgot that control transfers consist of possibly two
data chunks : the request itself and optionally a buffer of
data that should be transfered to or from the USB device. On
requests to the control endpoint without additional data
bus_dmamap_sync() didn't get called. For some reason my first
tests with umass worked (due to enough cache poisening I
guess). The attached patch adds a call to bus_dmamap_sync()
to usbdi.c and now all devices I have tried work out of the
box. I have successfully transfered large files using the
if_axe driver and I have mounted several different umass
devices.

mbuf pointer is set only in the last descriptor of a
multi-descriptor packet. By relying on the mbuf pointers of the
earlier descriptors, the driver would sometimes overwrite a
descriptor belonging to a packet that wasn't completed yet. Also,
tx_chain_prod wasn't updated inside the loop, causing the wrong
descriptor to be checked after the first iteration. The upshot of
all this was the loss of some transmitted packets at medium to high
packet rates.
In bce_tx_encap, remove a couple of old statements that shuffled
