Sorry about that and for the delayed response. I added one more blank line now, hopefully this looks better.

What this code is trying to do is the same as what vring do. I'll move 
this driver to be rproc based which hopefully should make things simpler 
and trim all of this out and address your other review comments as well.

I didn't write an rproc driver before, if there's anything that you 
think I need to be aware of when writing an rproc based *ALSA* driver 
I'd appreciate pointing it out.

Thanks,
Qais
