I don't really see how it is determining how to split the channels.
I see there is a discussion about that but I didn't see any explanation
that I could understand.

Also that only seems to have been done for IPCv4. What if my system
uses IPCv3 ?

Anyway, I'll drop the machine driver patches for now until the IPC code
is stable and consistent behavior for v3 and v4.
