When the kernel is running in secure boot mode, we lock down the kernel to
prevent userspace from modifying the running kernel image. Whilst this
includes prohibiting access to things like /dev/mem, it must also prevent
access by means of configuring driver modules in such a way as to cause a
device to access or modify the kernel image.
To this end, annotate module_param* statements that refer to hardware
configuration and indicate for future reference what type of parameter they
specify. The parameter parser in the core sees this information and can
skip such parameters with an error message if the kernel is locked down.
The module initialisation then runs as normal, but just sees whatever the
default values for those parameters is.
Note that we do still need to do the module initialisation because some
drivers have viable defaults set in case parameters aren't specified and
some drivers support automatic configuration (e.g. PNP or PCI) in addition
to manually coded parameters.
This patch annotates drivers in sound/oss/.

Replace the in order struct initialisation style with explicit field
style.
The Coccinelle semantic patch used to make this change is as follows:
@decl@
identifier i1,fld;
type T;
field list[n] fs;
@@
struct i1 {
fs
T fld;
...};
@@
identifier decl.i1,i2,decl.fld;
expression e;
position bad.p, bad.fix;
@@
struct i1 i2@p = { ...,
+ .fld = e
- e@fix
,...};

DSPVersion is declared as char[3], but the sprintf writes at least 4 bytes
including terminating null.

It is always "an" if there is a vowel _spoken_ (not written).
So it is:
"an hour" (spoken vowel)
but
"a uniform" (spoken 'j')

Remove the Kconfig definitions of unused variables AEDSP16_MSS and
AEDSP16_SBPRO since they're:
1) unused, and
2) referenced incorrectly anyway.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
