Modify the alsa-kmirror code. When you run make in alsa-driver tree, the 
file from alsa-kmirror is patched to retain compatibility for older linux 
kernels. The ac97_codec.c file in alsa-driver tree is just a temporary 
file (not in our repository) used for building. See to .gitignore which 
files are temporary only.
