[PATCH] update OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER schedule and dependencies
Update the schedule for the removal of drivers depending on
OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER as follows:

- adjust OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER dependencie
- from the release of 2.6.16 till the release of 2.6.17:
  approx. two months for users to report problems with the ALSA
  drivers for the same hardware
- after the release of 2.6.17 (and before 2.6.18):
  remove the subset of drivers marked at OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER without
  known regressions in the ALSA drivers for the same hardware

Additionally, correct some OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER dependencies.
A rationale of the changes is in
