Well, sound is *already* in GENERIC in -current and has been for
awhile with no complaints at all from the snapshot users, so the sky
hasn't fallen yet.  There are also certainly a lot of drivers
currently in GENERIC which would cause me far more concern if I was
worried about things breaking during the probe.  That's not to say
that we shouldn't do such a "potential impact audit" for GENERIC at
some point, but I wouldn't start first with the pcm driver if we were
to do so.
