[PATCH] alsa: use subsys_initcall for sound core instead of module_init

[PATCH] alsa: use subsys_initcall for sound core instead of module_init

[Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo]

This is needed for built-in drivers which are built before the sound directory,
like thinkpad_acpi.

Otherwise, registering a card fails.

Oh well, this kind of problem hits again.

I don't remember why subsys_init() wasn't taken before...  Maybe some
dependency between sound and V4L or so.  But, it's worth to check again.

I'll apply this after some testing.

Any references to this dependency problem, so I can try to help and investigate
about it and do some tests?

Built-in thinkpad-acpi started working for me after these changes. I can't tell
you about any subsystem that stopped working, like some V4L driver.

I also don't remember.  That was a long long ago... :)

Did you test whether the sound subsystem still works as modules?

It does. I've just reapplied those patches on top of rc4, and I'm currently
running it with CONFIG_SOUND=m, and my sound card works nicely, thanks.
