That seems pretty reasonable at first pass I think, the main issue is
just managing the transition safely for all the users.  There's a lot of
fragility in the AC'97 hardware and software so people have been very
reluctant to touch it.  Equally I think a lot of the more problematic
users probably aren't in use any more so you can probably get away with
more now than would have been the case in the past.
