aic7xxx and hotplug

So following my previous post concerning my APA1480 card, here is a patch
that solve my problem. I intent to push it to the driver maintener if you
agree with it. It only export the pci table but I have to include the
module.h before that.

It works as expected but It's not yet clear in my mind so could you please
try to answer to the following questions:

1. Are we supposed to unload module before removing a card.
When I remove a card I see something like cb_free(20) but the driver is not
unloaded.
I was expecting at least to see something indicating that a device was
removed at the module level (the cb_free comes from the cardbus code
level).
I looks like the removing of the card is not passed to the hotplug code.

2. My undersatnding about cardbus is that is look like a pci2pci bridge.
What's about 16bits pcmcia cards ? Is it possible to integrate this kind of
cards in the hotplug framework (like is ISApnp) ?

3. My adaptec card is often not detected. With the pcmcia-cs stuff it's
detected each time but most of the time the card is seen as a 16 bits card.
Then I imagine that when the hotplug stuff fails to detect my card it's
because it's detected, at the HW level, as a 16 bits card. I suspect that
the problem is with my card and not in my laptop. 
This makes sense to you or you think it's a SW bug ? 

Thanks,
Christophe
