There is no such thing as a "generic AC97 interface".  The controllers
in front of the codecs are all different.  That is not to say, however,
that it isn't a *common* AC97 interface, found on many PCs with (as in
"any PC with a relatively new ALI southbridge").

...nevermind that portint the code from OpenBSD to NetBSD isn't even
necessary.  OpenBSD got the code for "autri" from NetBSD *IN THE FIRST
PLACE*.

(Of course, they don't acknowledge NetBSD in their commit message, but
that's typical of them, so it shouldn't really be any surprise.)
