The WT and A3D subsystems for AU8810 are disabled, because:

- The AU8810 does not has any WT engine.
- The AU8810 A3D slices/sources register addresses have not been
confirmed and seem to be wrong. It looks like the AU8810 has 8 3D
sources instead of the 16 that the AU8830 has, but further work is
required, starting with the disassemble of a AU8810 WDM driver, in order
to find out/conform the 3D slices/sources register addresses.
