Agreed.  Also, I didn't check if other ac97 code uses the {0,} as a
terminator.  Removing it may break that.

The patch below accomplishes this.

However, now that I am actually looking at the code <g>, I don't see why
this would be a problem either way.  Even though the loop reads the 
"terminal" entry, it just checks whether it equals the specified id.  It
is equal to 0 so I assume it never will...we aren't dereferencing it or
anything.
