OK, thanks Alan.

However, we have a problem. When building the module I see the following 
warning:

   Building modules, stage 2.
   MODPOST
WARNING: "try_to_del_timer_sync" 
[/usr/src/buildsys/BUILD/alsa-kmod-1.0.21/_kmod_build_xen/pci/ctxfi/snd-ctxfi.ko] 
undefined!

I then see the same warning when installing the kmod (although it does 
install), but get a fatal error trying to modprobe the snd-ctxfi module 
again warning of the unknown symbol.
