This patch removes some extra mixers that do nothing on the Acer Aspire 8930G. The CD mixer is useless because the SATA DVD/Blu-Ray drive has no analog audio output, and the Side mixer is useless because we max out at 6ch anyway.

Neterion's (Formerly S2io) X3100 Series 10GbE PCIe Server Adapter Linux driver
==============================================================================
Contents

1) Introduction
2) Features supported
3) Configurable driver parameters
4) Troubleshooting
1) Introduction:
----------------
This Linux driver supports all Neterion's X3100 series 10 GbE PCIe I/O
Virtualized Server adapters.
The X3100 series supports four modes of operation, configurable via
firmware -
Single function mode
Multi function mode
SRIOV mode
MRIOV mode
The functions share a 10GbE link and the pci-e bus, but hardly anything else
inside the ASIC. Features like independent hw reset, statistics, bandwidth/
priority allocation and guarantees, GRO, TSO, interrupt moderation etc are
supported independently on each function.
(See below for a complete list of features supported for both IPv4 and IPv6)
2) Features supported:
----------------------
i) Single function mode (up to 17 queues)
ii) Multi function mode (up to 17 functions)
iii) PCI-SIG's I/O Virtualization
- Single Root mode: v1.0 (up to 17 functions)
- Multi-Root mode: v1.0 (up to 17 functions)
iv) Jumbo frames
X3100 Series supports MTU up to 9600 bytes, modifiable using
ifconfig command.
v) Offloads supported: (Enabled by default)
Checksum offload (TCP/UDP/IP) on transmit and receive paths
TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) on transmit path
Generic Receive Offload (GRO) on receive path
vi) MSI-X: (Enabled by default)
Resulting in noticeable performance improvement (up to 7% on certain
platforms).
vii) NAPI: (Enabled by default)
For better Rx interrupt moderation.
viii)RTH (Receive Traffic Hash): (Enabled by default)
Receive side steering for better scaling.
ix) Statistics
Comprehensive MAC-level and software statistics displayed using
"ethtool -S" option.
x) Multiple hardware queues: (Enabled by default)
Up to 17 hardware based transmit and receive data channels, with
multiple steering options (transmit multiqueue enabled by default).
3) Configurable driver parameters:
----------------------------------
i) max_config_dev
Specifies maximum device functions to be enabled.
Valid range: 1-8
ii) max_config_port
Specifies number of ports to be enabled.
Valid range: 1,2
Default: 1
iii)max_config_vpath
Specifies maximum VPATH(s) configured for each device function.
Valid range: 1-17
iv) vlan_tag_strip
Enables/disables vlan tag stripping from all received tagged frames that
are not replicated at the internal L2 switch.
Valid range: 0,1 (disabled, enabled respectively)
Default: 1
v) addr_learn_en
Enable learning the mac address of the guest OS interface in
virtualization environment.
Valid range: 0,1 (disabled, enabled respectively)
Default: 0
4) Troubleshooting:
-------------------
To resolve an issue with the source code or X3100 series adapter, please collect
the statistics, register dumps using ethool, relevant logs and email them to
support@neterion.com.
