Hi Barry,

I think this conversation has gotten too involved. I for one have
lost track of where we are.  I propose splitting the original patch
up into a number of subelements that we can discuss separately.
I'll post a series that pulls out some of the completely uncontroversial
bits asap.

I'm still far from convinced this is a good idea at all.
The fundamental problem is that the patch moves some but not all of the ring
handling into the core (or out of the driver at least!).
This leaves a nasty disconnect between which bits
of the code know about the ring buffer.  If it all stays in the driver
(with some clean ups lifted from your patch) then all of the device dependent
elements of the ring buffer usage remain in the device driver.
Yes we end up repeating some code, though not nearly as much as currently
as a lot of your patch makes sense to me, just not this bit!

I think this is a price we have to pay to not end up with a confusing
and to my mind illogical structure to the drivers.

Anyhow, lets see how much we differ after we have lifted the bits
we agree on out of the patch into a nice incremental series.

I have a lot of other issues with this bit of the code, so lets
discuss that separately from the ring buffer setup elements.
