thinkpad-acpi: basic ALSA mixer support (v2)
Add the basic ALSA mixer functionality. The mixer is event-driven,
and will work fine on IBM ThinkPads. I expect Lenovo ThinkPads will
cause some trouble with the event interface.
Heavily based on work by Lorne Applebaum <lorne.applebaum@gmail.com>
and ideas from Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com>.
