Several people, including myself, want to get pcmcia into the tree.  
However, we need to solve a couple of issues related to the configuration 
model.  We have some ideas, but they involve some changes to ISA, too.

Again, while the code is probably good, the major stumbling block is the 
configuration model.  Once we solve that, the rest should be a breeze.
