My BIOS is being funny. I all of a sudden have the same behaviour back 
on .25 and .24. Quite frankly, I haven't a single clue what's going on 
and why my BIOS is grabbing 0xde00-0xde03. The BIOS didn't change, it's 
BIOS SETTINGS didn't change. I did remove the soundcard, booted without 
it and put it back later (same slot) which may have triggered some odd 
BIOS reconfig. Already tried resetting the ESCD which isn't making a 
difference.

You'll have to decide if the patch as posted in parent makes sense. I 
guess it's not a kernel regression as such after all, but I do still 
need something like it to have my soundcard functional.
