-   IDEAS for further optimisation of lms_adapt_bg():
-
-   1/ The rounding is quite costly.  Could we keep as 32 bit coeffs
-   then make filter pluck the MS 16-bits of the coeffs when filtering?
-   However this would lower potential optimisation of filter, as I
-   think the dual-MAC architecture requires packed 16 bit coeffs.
-
-   2/ Block based update would be more efficient, as per comments above,
-   could use dual MAC architecture.
-
-   3/ Look for same sample Blackfin LMS code, see if we can get dual-MAC
-   packing.
-
-   4/ Execute the whole e/c in a block of say 20ms rather than sample
-   by sample.  Processing a few samples every ms is inefficient.

-   Blackfin NOTES & IDEAS:

-   A simple dot product function is used to implement the filter.  This performs

-   history to avoid 0 length hardware loop issues.  This is wasteful of
