thinkpad-acpi: basic ALSA mixer support (v2)
Add the basic ALSA mixer functionality. The mixer is event-driven, and will work fine on IBM ThinkPads. I expect Lenovo ThinkPads will cause some trouble with the event interface. Heavily based on work by Lorne Applebaum <lorne.applebaum@gmail.com> and ideas from Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com>.
