I understand more of the driver now... loaded=1 just disables loading
the Altera chip's firmware.. the ADSP and the KFIR still have theirs
reloaded.

Looks like the kfir isn't being reset properly... or else a firmware
bug. In the worst case, I suppose the driver could reload the KFIR
firmware whenever the device is open()ed. 

Get onto that in a few days; In the middle of chopping the source up and
some tidying.
