Unfortunately, Andre's patch includes an important BUGFIX which must
go into 2.4 (CompactFlash hang/IRQ storm on pcmcia-PCI adapter card).
Despite I'm sending this bugifx for several months now it is not included yet!
I understand Andre would like to get the whole patch accepted as I have no
evidence he ever submitted my isolated (about 3-liner) bugfix.
Andre, what are your plans concerning 2.4 ?
