We really only care about the first two bus masters (playback and capture).
There's no need to have unused BM code lying around, so let's get rid of it.
If for some reason we trigger an IRQ for some BM that we're not using.. well,
that warrants spitting out an error message (imo).

ACcording to 6.3.2.7 of the cs5535/cs5536 data sheets, the ACC_BM[x]_CMD
registers are only 8 bits wide. This driver treats them as 32 bits wide,
and also has bits in the wrong place. Simple fix to the definitions.

We're never actually setting dma->substream to the current substream; that
means the dma->substream checks that we do in the suspend/resume path
are never satisfied, and the PRD registers are never correctly managed. This
changes it so that we set the substream when constructing the specific

Do we truncate mmap() values to the nearest page so to not confuse the
user? ;)

Hi!
Please CC me, as I'm currently not subscribed to this list, thx.
Attached patch will add above mentioned Laptop Model to whitelist for both
pata_ali and alim15x3, as it is correctly detected as 40-wire connected but

Hi,
I am wondering if this is a known issue, but I just built the current git

I've long hated the non-killability of tasks accessing a dead
NFS server. Linus had an idea for fixing this way back in 2002:
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0208.0/0167.html which
I've prototyped in this patch.
Splitting up TASK_* into separate bits is going to need a lot more
