oh, OK, whatever, that's easy. I dropped the old patch and queued this
one:

---------------------------
-What: PCMCIA control ioctl (needed for pcmcia-cs [cardmgr, cardctl])
-When: November 2005
-Files: drivers/pcmcia/: pcmcia_ioctl.c
-Why: With the 16-bit PCMCIA subsystem now behaving (almost) like a
- normal hotpluggable bus, and with it using the default kernel
- infrastructure (hotplug, driver core, sysfs) keeping the PCMCIA
- control ioctl needed by cardmgr and cardctl from pcmcia-cs is
- unnecessary, and makes further cleanups and integration of the
- PCMCIA subsystem into the Linux kernel device driver model more
- difficult. The features provided by cardmgr and cardctl are either
- handled by the kernel itself now or are available in the new
- pcmciautils package available at
- http://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/
-Who: Dominik Brodowski <linux@brodo.de>

What: sys_sysctl
When: September 2010
Option: CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL
