Cool things there:

+#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
+	/* Well, CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC makes the sound horrible. Lets
alert */
+	printk(KERN_WARNING
+	       "PCSP: Warning, CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled!\n"
+	       "You have to disable it if you want to use the PC-Speaker
"
+	       "driver.\n"
+	       "Unless it is disabled, enjoy the horrible, distorted "
+	       "and crackling noise.\n");
+#endif
