[PATCH] sb_mixer bounds checking
From: Muli Ben-Yehuda <mulix@mulix.org> This patch add proper bounds checking to the sb_mixer.c code, found by the stanford checker[0]. It fixes bugzilla bugs 252[1], 253[2] and 254[3]. Patch is against 2.6.5-rc2. It was tested by Rene Herman on SN AWE64 gold and sound still works. The issue was previously discussed on lkml[4], but apparently no fix was applied. The patch is a bit more intrusive than I would've liked, but I don't think it can be helped without really intrusive changes. sb_devc has a pointer to an array (iomap) that is set at run time to point to arrays of variable sizes. The patch adds an 'iomap_sz' member to sb_devc that is set to the length of the array, and does bounds checking in sb_common_mixer_set() and smw_mixer_set() agains that.
