Digigram VX core
- added hw_constraint to align 4bytes.
  this will solve the 24bit problem on vx222.

USB generic driver
fix by Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de>:

- don't clear active_mask bits until it's clear that the URB is _not_
  resubmitted, to prevent a race with unlinking
- initialize active_mask and unlink_mask each time before URBs are
  started
- don't call sleeping functions in trigger callback

USB generic driver
- clear unlink_mask bit in the complete callback.
- make sure to deactivate urbs before starting streams.

AC97 Codec Core
- added new patch codes for ALC655/658.
- fixed reset wait loop in the resume phase.
- fixed resume of AD1981 multi codecs.

CMIPCI driver
- set XCHGDAC bit implicitly on MC4/6 models for fixing wrong
  playback on some boards.
- removed 'Exchange DAC' control from such a model.

EMU10K1/EMU10K2 driver
Peter Zubaj <pzad@pobox.sk>:
 - disable routing from AC97 line out to front speakers.
 - AC97 ADC is used only for Mic playback and recording
 - Philips ADC is used for other analog playback and recording
  (Analog Mix Playback Volume, Analog Mix Capture Volume)
 - removes unused AC97 controls (is phone used ???)

Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>:
 - removed the duplicated IEC958 control on Dell's board.

  clean up the document.
  modified by Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

Documentation,ALSA Core
- cards_limit=1 as default instead of 8.
- cards_limit means the number of auto-loaded cards.  not limits the
  actual card numbers for manual loading (e.g. hotplug).
