this patch will crash your machine eventually... be warned. :-)

the attached patch is against 2.4.17-pre1 and attempts to (naively) 
merge Doug Ledford's 0.05 i810_audio.c from redhat's 2.4.7 kernel with 
the latest features of the driver in 2.4.17. (2.4.7-redhat doesn't 
appear to include APM or s/pdif support). I bumped the version to 0.05a ;-)

it fixes KDE's artsd problem on my machine, but I screwed something up 
involving virtual memory or buffer allocation. this causes an oops which 
makes the machine unstable. expect to see crashes in fs and kswapd code.

maybe somebody else can debug this faster than me - it's been a while 
since i've done anything kernel related.
