APR communication with DSP is not atomic in nature. Its request-response type. Trying to pretend that these are atomic and invoking apr client callbacks directly under atomic/irq context has endless issues with soundcard. It makes more sense to convert these to nonatomic calls. This also coverts all the dais to be nonatomic. All the callbacks are now invoked as part of rx work queue.
