With 6.1 my patch is no longer necessary. The igain control can now
be used to enable the microphone preamp. The support has been in
ac97.c but disabled for a while. Recently this code was enabled and
looks like it should be in the final 6.1 release.
The support in 6.1 is much better than my hack which just always
enabled the mic gain. I'm not sure if it is documented very well
anywhere, nor do I know where I would expect this to be documented
since it only applies to ac97 codecs.
