One test later. Not the same environment, it is a desktop with a pci
card and a digiface (instead of a multiface). 2.6.31.12-rt21 with the
patch that restores functionality to snd_hdsp seems to work fine:

----
$ dmesg | grep -i hdsp
ALSA sound/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:678: Hammerfall-DSP: iobox found after
0ms!
ALSA sound/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:830: Hammerfall-DSP: wait for FIFO status
<= 0 failed after 30 iterations
ALSA sound/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:695: Hammerfall-DSP: loading firmware
ALSA sound/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:728: Hammerfall-DSP: finished firmware
loading
----
After booting the card seems to work (it was disconnected from the
firewire wire while it was rebooting). But same problem with the wait
for FIFO failing. So maybe it is not so different after all.
