Add a quirk facility for AC97 in OSS, and add a quirk list for the

This allows automatically "correct" behaviour for sound hardware w/
known oddities. For example, many cards have the headphone and
line-out outputs swapped or headphone outputs only.

The code is stolen shamelessly from ALSA, FWIW...


Dumb question: why not just use the ALSA driver?


Until we actually remove the OSS drivers, it's sorta silly to leave them broken.

Jeff, still using i810_audio...
