Hi all!

As part of the VAMOS[0] research project at the University of Erlangen we're checking referential integrity between kernel KConfig options and in-code Conditional blocks.

The config Variable USE_MIXARTLOADER has been non-existent for all git based linux kernels (2.6.12-rc) and seems to be no longer relevant. It is only referenced at one place in the Code (sound/pci/mixart/mixart_hwdep.c).

The attached patch makes the behaviour more obvious as it is equivalent to the old one when assuming CONFIG_MIXARTLOADER as not defined.

Please keep me informed of this patch getting confirmed / merged so we can keep track of it.

Same is, of course, true for USE_PCXHRLOADER. Attached is a patch doing the same for both of them.

Well, these all are basically hacks for building modules from the external alsa-driver tree. Since this is fairly harmless, I'd like to keep them.
