The snd-hda-intel driver does not compile on 2.2 kernels, so it has an
entry in the kconfig-vers file to disable it on those kernels.  However,
the kconfig-vers entry says "2.6" because the utils/mod-deps utility
that generates that part of the configure script does not support any
version checks with numbers less than 2.6.

If you don't want to fix mod-deps, just remove the entry from
kconfig-vers and run "./hgcompile --with-cards=hda-intel".
