Thanks. I will also run some tests with it, as soon as you think it
is ready.

Don't know. Maybe the interface is, but the kernel wants to access the
registers in 32-bit width nevertheless? I'm no expert here either.

I just remember we had some reports about kernel panics with PCMCIA cards
in the past, because those 32-bit bus space functions were missing.
