[ALSA] hda-codec - Fix the error in DAC assignment of STAC codec
The STAC codec support code has the automatic recognition of
additional side-output pins, and this may result in an error when
the assigned pin has no corresponding DAC connection.
The patch fixes the problem -- it corrects the line_outs again
without such additional pins.

STAC922x provides the capture boost level up to 4, but actually it
works only up to 2. Since the range of the mixer is automatically
defined from amp-capability bits, we need to override the value
beforehand. snd_hda_override_amp_caps() is introduced for this

* Do the same thing as probe_hwif() and always disable DMA so chipset DMA
enabled bit gets cleared (if the drive doesn't support DMA ide_set_dma()
won't try to tune it anyway).
* Add TODO comment about respecting ->using_dma setting.
The driver used to depend on BIOS settings for deciding whether it is OK
to use DMA. However it seems that BIOS doesn't always handle all cases
correctly so just let IDE core to decide about this. It should be a safe
thing to do now, after the driver went through heavy bugfixing.
Thanks for bugreport and testing the patch goes out to Sven Niedner.
* Always set ->autotune so PIO gets correctly auto-tuned (previously
->autotune was only set when ->dma_base wasn't available, however
->ide_dma_check()/->speedproc() was always trying to tune PIO when
tuning DMA).
* Move code responsible for programming chipset for PIO mode from
svwks_tune_chipset() to svwks_tune_pio(). Don't tune PIO when tuning
DMA (this is no longer needed since ->autotune is always set now).
* Handle PIO modes early in svwks_tune_chipset() so DMA configuration
registers don't get cleared when programming PIO mode.
* Add sil_tuneproc() wrapper for siimage_tuneproc() which also sets
PIO mode on the device.
* Add missing ide_get_best_pio_mode() call to sil_tuneproc() so
"pio" == 255 (autotune) is handled correctly (previously PIO0 was used)
and "pio" values > 4 && < 255 are filtered to PIO4 (instead of PIO0).
* Add code limiting maximum PIO mode according to the pair device capabilities
to sil_tuneproc().
* Convert users of config_siimage_chipset_for_pio() to use sil_tune_pio() and
sil_tuneproc(). This fixes PIO fallback in siimage_config_drive_for_dma() to
use max PIO mode available instead of PIO4 (config_siimage_chipset_for_pio()
used wrong arguments for ide_get_best_pio_mode() and as a results always
tried to set PIO4).

* Enable ->autotune unconditionally and remove PIO tuning for UDMA/MDMA modes
from siimage_speedproc()
* Bump driver version.

i386: Allow KVM on i386 nonpae
Currently, CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64 both enables boot-time checking of
the cmpxchg64b feature and enables compilation of the set_64bit() family.
Since the option is dependent on PAE, and since KVM depends on set_64bit(),
this effectively disables KVM on i386 nopae.
Simplify by removing the config option altogether: the boot check is made
dependent on CONFIG_X86_PAE directly, and the set_64bit() family is exposed
without constraints. It is up to users to check for the feature flag (KVM
does not as virtualiation extensions imply its existence).
