If these SanDisk behave this way, we should do it. The easiest way would be,
I think, to add a flag "WDC_CAPABILITY_NOSLAVE" in wdcvar.h, and have the
wdc_pcmcia.c front-end set it when appropriate.
Another way would be to add a field to wdc_softc for the number of
disks to probe, but this would require changing all the front-ends.
