Re: SV: New driver worked in FC5test1

Hi,

modifying the driver to make it work on 4K stacks kernels reliably would 
be a serious undertaking which would require many important 
architectural changes to the driver. An important part of the driver is 
provided by Conexant and this code is quite recursive with deep code 
paths and as such requires more than 4K of stack.
