I'm suggesting not including this at all in the v4.2 release so we can
continue to make changes, or perhaps just leaving the code there but
making sure it can't be used as Takashi suggested.  alsa-lib hasn't
released yet as far as I'm aware so we can continue to make changes
there.

Right, it's tricky - there's a bunch of techniques like the versioning
that's in the current structures but they all take work and effort.
