AudioScience standalone alsa driver

[Eliot Blennerhassett <linux@audioscience.com>]

Greetings.

I have started working on making a standalone version of the alsa driver for 
audioscience cards.

(By which I mean the whole driver source is in the alsa tree, and doesn't rely 
on separately built HPI driver).

As a start, I have just thrown together the current asihpi.c (alsa driver 
module) with all the files for the HPI driver and made a couple of tweaks so 
that there is only one module init.

Here is the code for the adventurous:

Unpack it in the pci subdirectory of driver source (warning: overwrites 
Makefile there).  Everything else is created in asihpi subdirectory.

I'm quite well aware that the code needs a lot of bashing into shape to get it 
acceptable to alsa let alone the kernel... 

Goals for the near future are
* Get the PCI detection and probing working like a normal driver
* Enable bus master audio transfer for cards that support it
* Avoid spinlock around every HPI message transaction

all constructive comments welcome. ;-)
