Documentation,HDA Intel driver
This patch changes the Intel HD Audio device driver to include
the support of HD Audio device embedded in ATI south bridge
IXP450. Because the design of ATI chipset follows intel HD Audio
specification 1.0, the programming method is the same as that
of intel HD Audio device exception one minor change which requires
to enable snoop for DMA transport. There are 3 changes that have been
made to hda_intel.c file.
  1. Added device ID for ATI HD Audio device;
  2. Increase maximum CODEC supported to 4;
  3. Enable snoop during the driver initialization.

Documentation,VIA82xx driver
Add support for full sample rate conversion capabilities of DXS
channels present in VIA VT8233/5/7 controllers:

- any sample rate in the 8000 ... 48000 Hz range is supported even if
  the AC'97 codec supports only 48000 Hz output;

- different DXS channels can use different sample rates at the same
  time (the controller performs required sample rate conversion and
  mixing in hardware).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
