The driver implements a message-based transport for I/O substream
operations. Before the start of the substream, the hardware buffer is
sliced into I/O messages, the number of which is equal to the current
number of periods. The size of each message is equal to the current
size of one period.
I/O messages are organized in an ordered queue. The completion of the
I/O message indicates an elapsed period (the only exception is the end
of the stream for the capture substream). Upon completion, the message
is automatically re-added to the end of the queue.

Like the HDA specification, the virtio sound device specification links
PCM substreams, jacks and PCM channel maps into functional groups. For
each discovered group, a PCM device is created, the number of which
coincides with the group number.
Introduce the module parameters for setting the hardware buffer
parameters:
pcm_buffer_ms [=160]
pcm_periods_min [=2]
pcm_periods_max [=16]
pcm_period_ms_min [=10]
pcm_period_ms_max [=80]

The control queue can be used by different parts of the driver to send
commands to the device. Control messages can be either synchronous or
asynchronous. The lifetime of a message is controlled by a reference
count.
Introduce a module parameter to set the message completion timeout:
msg_timeout_ms [=1000]

Introduce skeleton of the virtio sound driver. The driver implements
the virtio sound device specification, which has become part of the
virtio standard.
Initial initialization of the device, virtqueues and creation of an
empty ALSA sound device.
