6 is what Windows uses. So you're saying I should set that value in
the device description, but not actually write it to the configuration
register?

Note, though, that writing this to the config register is exactly the
technique that a Linux user uses, and this makes the cardbus slot work
on his system.

I may actually just go and build a linux kernel with some debugging and
see just what it's doing.

ACPI is related to the PCI interrupt routing? (I don't know anything
about ACPI.)
