} For HACKS in 3.0? Something like: On some cards the card align field

} but it is not the proper solution. This is done on aic_pcmcia.c

     I really meant for the XXX comment, but I guess I can use a
shortened form, i.e. "gross hack to work around rbus resource
allocation problem"?  I applied the same patch to com_pcmcia.c.  Can
that be rolled in as well?  Where can I learn more about PCMCIA, both
in general and NetBSD's implementation (other then pcmcia(9))?
