 3a22a955739db93897607f05103d596a14e2965b Disable qtopia font engines (QPF)
                                          Qtopia font engine is not very useful now when we can use freetype.
                                          Freetype fonts can handle national characters while QPF had
                                          problems e.g. when used with qGoogleTranslate (displayed trash
                                          instead of e.g. russian characters).
 b8d8e2b102de6eb0bdf8e80a9897784e671289fa Rootfs doc - remove bad mounts, dash, better qpe start script
                                          Mounting tmpfs on /tmp is not good idea, since qtopia uses it for
                                          rendering fonts and this eats precious ram (also other programs
                                          like mc use it).
                                          Dash is minimalistic shell and is faster and eats less memory then
                                          full bash. Can be replaced to bash any time later by user.
                                          The qte start script now handles restarting qtopia correctly and is
                                          also more usable. If no args specified it starts qtopia. Also
                                          accepts start/stop/restart args.

 d1910e750c05935e7e3cfa8cd89e4d29ede28c76 Use QProcess for switching alsa scenarios.
                                          Using system() function involves starting shell and is a bit slower
                                          then using QProcess. Here are numbers for 20 alsactl invokes:
                                                  system()     qprocess
                                          ==============================
                                          real    0m15.643s    0m14.958s
                                          user    0m1.840s     0m1.660s
                                          sys     0m2.705s     0m2.245s
                                          Great speed improvement would be not to wait for alsactl process to
                                          finish, but this possibility needs more investigation.

                                          Fix no sound in incoming calls bug.
                                          Sometimes there is no sound in incoming call on Neo Freerunner. I was
                                          able to reproduce this bug by applying reverted no_voip.patch and by
                                          changing ringtone to this one:
                                          http://activationrecord.net/radekp/pub/phonering.wav
                                          The problem is caused by unnecessary switching audio states. First when
                                          incomming call is picked up, the state is switched to gsmhandset.state
                                          and then immediately it's switched to gsmspeakerout.state. The switch
                                          to gsmspeakerout.state causes no sound.
                                          Now what causes the double state switching. First switch to
                                          gsmhandset.state is done when incoming call is picked up. This is
                                          handled in CallAudioHandler::activateAudio() and IPC call to
                                          setDomain("Phone") is made. Set domain picks up most suitable alsa
                                          state which is gsmhandset.state.
                                          After that CallAudioHandler::activateAudio() is called second time.
                                          This time transferAudio() is called because we have request to set
                                          gsm speaker profile and setProfile("PhoneSpeaker") IPC call sets
                                          gsmspeakerout.state.
                                          The request for gsmspeaker is for some unknown reason set in
                                          DialProxy::acceptIncoming() function (as if Speaker key was pressed).
                                          So we just remove this request and now state switching for incomming
                                          call is handled like this
                                          stereoout->gsmhandset->stereoout
                                                     ^           ^
                                                  call picked    call ended
                                          Logs used to debug this follow:
