3.11-rc6 many problems, wil6210 , snd-pcsp , ibmphp

[werner]

With compiling and using this, have too much problems



/   In wil6210  some problem with call arguments ; that 
messes the whole compilation of the kernel because gives 
an error condition

/  ibmphpd :    something run-time-wrong

/   in the second compilation stage, plenty modules or 
something else can't be found

/  The snd-pcsp  module don't work.    It don't load even 
with option snd-pcsp index=1 , it gives a message that the 
device is
ocupied.   Typing in   beep  , it's beeping, so I suppose 
my computer has a beeper.   Perhaps any default speaker 
module occupies
the speaker ?   It should be programmed correctly in the 
pcsp module, that loading it it desocupy the speaker. 
   The beeper
programming specialist should check this module, I tried 
it for several kernel versions and computers, it never 
works.
That facility is important because persons in poorer 
places have old computers without sound cards.

Of the first 3 problems, see below

Have to provide a "me too". Was interested in it when it first appeared
in kernel in semi-recentish times, did not get it to work other than
producing some random clicking.
I'm very sad to say that the High-Fidelity-Enhanced speaker driver
in Windows 3.11 worked a lot better than this and was actually
semi-acceptable as a soundcard replacement.
Wait - aren't we at version 3.11 now, too? So shouldn't this now just
work, too? </cheap_shot>
Especially given our very advanced timer handling compared to those
primitive OSes, I'd definitely expect device performance
to be somewhat *better* not worse...

Indeed. While this argument is getting harder to make by the minute
(with many soundcards builtin, almost for decades),
it does have some merit (even if it's just to provide a minimally usable replacement
for a cheapo broken soundcard hardware, or for - God forbid! - soundcard
hardware unsupported by Linux).

(and so on)

This is a side effect of commit ea4054a2384 (handle huge number of modules).
See https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/8/493.
