module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int.  In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.

It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option.  For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.

The implicit presence of module.h lured several users into
incorrectly thinking that they only needed/used modparam.h
but once we clean up the module.h presence, these will show
up as build failures, so fix 'em now.

Currently, if the high-res timers are unavailable, snd-pcsp does not
initialize. People who choose it over pcspkr, loose their console beeps
in that case and get annoyed.
With this patch, the console beeps remain regardless of the high-res
timers. Additionally, the "nopcm" modparam is added to forcibly
disable the PCM capabilities of the driver.

Impact: cleanup, move all hrtimer processing into hardirq context

This is an attempt at removing some of the hrtimer complexity by
reducing the number of callback modes to 1.

This means that all hrtimer callback functions will be ran from HARD-irq
context.

I went through all the 30 odd hrtimer callback functions in the kernel
and saw only one that I'm not quite sure of, which is the one in
net/can/bcm.c - hence I'm CC-ing the folks responsible for that code.

Furthermore, the hrtimer core now calls callbacks directly with IRQs
disabled in case you try to enqueue an expired timer. If this timer is a
periodic timer (which should use hrtimer_forward() to advance its time)
then it might be possible to end up in an inf. recursive loop due to the
fact that hrtimer_forward() doesn't round up to the next timer
granularity, and therefore keeps on calling the callback - obviously
this needs a fix.

Aside from that, this seems to compile and actually boot on my dual core
test box - although I'm sure there are some bugs in, me not hitting any
makes me certain :-)

snd-pcsp driver takes chip-&gt;substream_lock together with PCM substream
lock.  These are even mixed up with hrtimer's lock, resulting in messy
lock depencies.  Right now, snd-pcsp driver resolves the deadlock by
using HRTIMER_CB_SOFTIRQ.  However, this isn't nice for a really fast
path like bit-flipping.

This patch introduces a tasklet for PCM period handling so that the
hrtimer callback can be handled fast.  This also reduce the use of
chip-&gt;substream_lock to avoid deadlocks.  It's still used in pointer
callback, but even this could be removed with a proper barrier.

Another good solution is to introduce async trigger callback.  But,
this will involve with a major rewrite of the PCM core code, so I
take first this easy fix.
