The voicebus interface constantly uses the same buffers for moving data
to/from the card. A fixed pool has less overhead in this case than
constantly mapping/unmapping the kmem_cache_alloced buffers.
Saves about ~2.608 us for each run of vb_isr on a 2.40 GHz Xeon test
machine.

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.

I have yet to personally come across a system where this actually
changes the observable behavior, but it certainly seems like the sane
thing to do and I would rather not let this float around as a patch when
I can just merge it in.

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.
