Renaming sound drivers

I am planning to rename the sound drivers as follows:


- `sound'

The generic sound driver, including pcm and midi (to come).

- `snd_*'

The device-dependent drivers, named after the sound driver modules at
this moment.


This scheme eliminates unwanted device-dependent drivers (about 260KB
in my case) from your kernel.

In addition, the module `snd_pcm' will be renamed to `sound', in order
to sync with the new naming convention.


The patch is at:

If there are no objection, I will commit on the evening of the next
Wednesday.
