Tejun Heo d886e87cb8 sound: make OSS sound core optional
sound/sound_core.c implements soundcore.ko and contains two parts -
sound_class which is shared by both ALSA and OSS and device
redirection support for OSS.  It's always compiled when any sound
support is enabled although it's necessary only when OSS (the actual
one or emulation) is enabled.  This is slightly wasteful and as device
redirection always registers character device region for major 14, it
prevents alternative implementation.

This patch introduces a new config SOUND_OSS_CORE which is selected
iff OSS support is actually necessary and build the OSS core part
conditionally.

If OSS is disabled, soundcore merely contains sound_class but leaving
it that way seems to be the simplest approach as otherwise sound_class
should be in ALSA core file if OSS is disabled but should be in
soundcore if OSS is enabled.  Also, there's also the user confusion
factor.

tristate "Sound card support"
depends on HAS_IOMEM
help
If you have a sound card in your computer, i.e. if it can say more
than an occasional beep, say Y. Be sure to have all the information
about your sound card and its configuration down (I/O port,
interrupt and DMA channel), because you will be asked for it.
You want to read the Sound-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. General information about
the modular sound system is contained in the files
<file:Documentation/sound/oss/Introduction>. The file
<file:Documentation/sound/oss/README.OSS> contains some slightly
outdated but still useful information as well. Newer sound
driver documentation is found in <file:Documentation/sound/alsa/*>.
If you have a PnP sound card and you want to configure it at boot
time using the ISA PnP tools (read
<http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/>), then you need to
compile the sound card support as a module and load that module
after the PnP configuration is finished. To do this, choose M here
and read <file:Documentation/sound/oss/README.modules>; the module
will be called soundcore.

This is used to avoid config and link hard dependencies between the
sound subsystem and other function drivers completely unrelated to
sound although they're sharing the AC97 bus. Concerned drivers
should "select" this.
