[alsa-devel] [PATCH v2] sound: Disable the build of OSS drivers
OSS drivers are left as badly unmaintained, and now we're facing a problem to clean up the hackish set_fs() usage in their codes. Since most of drivers have been covered by ALSA, and the others are dead old and inactive, let's leave them RIP.
This patch is the first step: disable the build of OSS drivers. We'll eventually drop the whole codes and clean up later.

v1->v2: Smaller changes, as Linus and Randy suggested. The first dmasound Kconfig inclusion is still commented out since it's shorter/simpler in the end.

Please note the dmasound drivers do not have ALSA equivalents.
