+	  This enables hash table in sound card for kcontrols. The traditional way is
+	  traversing the linked list of controls and compare each exsiting control with
+	  the new kcontrol to find out whether there are duplicate kcontrols, which will
+	  consumes much time during bootup. Enable this will use hash table instead of
+	  linked list to check new kcontrol and reduce much time for sound card registration.
