There are some platforms where the read-line multiple transaction causes
packets to be dropped in the voicebus pipeline. The only observable
behavior is that packets just go "missing" in the pipeline. This also
only appears to affect PCI cards.
A typical 'symptom' of this problem is you may see IRQ misses increasing
without any corresponding "bumps" in latency in the kernel message log.
Normally, IRQ misses are correlated to latency bumps since that is an
indication that the host was not able to service the card interrupt in a
timely fashion. DAHDI-510 DAHDI-774

There were some routes through the failure paths in __voicebus_init() where a
registered memory region was not subsequently released. This change closes
those paths.
The result would be on subsequent loads of the driver after hitting the
failure condition you would see "IO Registers are in use by another module."
in dmesg.
request_mem_region/release_mem_region should most likely be converted to
devm_request_region and devm_release_region introduced in 2.6.20
(commit 9ac7849e35f705830f7b016ff272b0ff1f7ff759) which was introduced for
reasons just such as this.

The voicebus library by default configures the PCI interface to poll the
descriptor ring for available buffers. There are some platforms like
the Intel SG3420P motherboard where this does not appear to be
sufficient. Writing to the transmit demand poll register resolves this
problem on these troublesome platforms. DAHDI-700 DAHDI-702.

This needs some more testing before it's on by default. If the card is
otherwise functioning, these messages may be confusing to the user. If
the card is not functioning, the driver can be reloaded with debug to
check for this condition.
