one single FIFO. The WM9712 I worked with sends data in slot 12 which we have

the fiq handler using the DMA engine with AC97.

Slot 12 is used for GPIOs to allow them to be read/written without
register accesses - I'd expect that data there will not be uncommon.

The devdma code is actually a copy of sound/arm/devdma.[ch]. It should probably
be selected somehow instead of duplicated.

Yes, ideally.  A simple Makefile change in sound/arm should do the
trick.  Other than this I'm happy with all the patches I've not
specifically commented on.
