The point of these changes is to allocate and manage an 'instance id' in kernel. Topology gives its own ID but thats just a free running values and we may have more instance in complete graph than max allowed instance for that module as not all parts of graph will be operation simultaneously. So the way is to allocate and manage them in driver. We have used ffz to maintain the ids, but ffz works on 32 bits, the max instance of some modules is more than that so we added implementation on top of ffz for 128bits. Later the patches use this and add a table for quick ref of used ids for sending to DSPs. Please do let me know if it helps, will add more details in patch changelogs... Thanks -- ~Vinod
