The change is probably max of 3 lines of code per sound card that has an out of tree driver. The only one I am aware of is the xfi one. With the wrapper being more than 3 lines of code being put into the kernel only to be removed again seems a little un-necessary to me. For internal kernel changes, I don't think we should care about out of kernel drivers. None of the rest of the kernel developers go out of their way for anything out-of-mainline.
