Between SPIB and DRSM, I would pick SPIB as the most interesting for the
legacy HDaudio driver. This prevents the DMA hardware from playing stale
data and would allow for xruns to be detected in cleaner ways. The
programming sequences are relatively straightforward when the .ack is used.

I must admit my ignorance of how DRSM works exactly. We haven't used it
in the SOF driver where INFO_RESUME is disabled, and with a DSP I am not
too sure how to restart precisely from the same location with all the
intermediate buffering and processing that may happen.
