well, especially in the design section which doesn't make any mention at all of machine specific drivers.
Do we really want to call them machine drivers? Machine drivers already exist in the basic non-audio platform code. Calling the audio drivers machine drivers overloads the term. In the Apple audio code they are called fabric drivers.
They've been called machine drivers for years. If you find this confusing I'd suggest qualifying the name ("ASoC machine drivers"), I don't think renaming them would be worthwhile just for PowerPC. Given the similarity of their role I'm having a hard time seeing the overlap as a bad thing even for the people who have difficulty with this.
