  - HDSP
    - HDSP9632 has also firmware version 0x97
  - nm256
    - added a blacklist to avoid the possible hang-up at module loading
  - cmipci
    - dropped the software encoding of AC3 stream in the driver (moved to alsa-lib)
  - AC97 codec
    - detection for S/PDIF rates
    - fix access to wrong register when clearing powerdown bits
    - show AC'97 2.3 information in proc file
    - fix AC'97 revision bits on AD1985
    - added the write support to ac97#x-x+regs proc file (DEBUG)
    - fixed AD18xx PCM bit handling
    - stac9758 initialization fixes
    - STAC9758: stereo mutes, jack configuration
    - added the global mutex for ac97_t (ad18xx mutex is removed).
       used to protect paging and AD18xx multi-codecs.
    - set PAGE_INT register explicitly before accessing (for STAC9758).
    - moved ALC650 revision check to patch_alc650().
    - support stereo Mic playback.
    - moved STAC9708 quirk to patch_stac9708().
    - don't clear PC_BEEP high bits (ac97 2.3 sets frequency there).
    - avoid the unnecessary RESET-waiting for audio/modem codec.
    - fixed the evaluation of modem codec to call mpatch callback properly.
    - determine the SPDIF rate in the build path.
    - added suffix argument to snd_ac97_rename|remove|swap_ctl().
