I do not see any sense in dropping these API changes now.
Some audio files have been missed form the original patch because I did
not have them in the code tree when patch was built.
For those who was not in the list for original patches here is a link to
the patch details: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/8/373

If we drop the API changes now we will need redo these changes again later.
We already dragged these changes long enough since original discussion in October.
I will send new inline wrapper for RapidIO today.
