PR#10607, yes?  That seems to be mostly resolved:

 discussion on icb has led to enlightenment:
 - the iospace for the nell card is provided when it is attached
 - there is no need to bother with bus_space_{free,alloc} because
   this is setup statically by sbus.
 - all that needs to happen is for the nell driver to determine
   where it is and manage the extents used by the cards itself.

On the other hand, it's far from clear that the code actually does this,
and there's still no pcmcia(9).
