This is mainly caused by the broken PCMCIA resource handling. The
PCMCIA core still marks the resources it uses as busy. This causes
some drivers to get a little upset when they try to do the same, and
when they and the PCMCIA core both try to release the resource.
Unfortunately, between all the PCMCIA bug fixing which went on earlier,
I didn't have time to sort out that aspect of PCMCIA. I guess this
means that PCMCIA resource handling will remain broken for 2.6.
I've presently adopted a "lets see what happens to 2.6" strategy - I
have _zero_ idea what is going to be an acceptable level of change
once 2.6 is released.
This means that, for the time being, I'm ignoring everything apart
from simple and obvious bug fixes.
