Yes, and I had certainly done that, for the express purpose of allowing 
the negative ...

No idea how that one snuck back in, I'll fix that.

Denis suggested this be changed to a sysfs parameter, but neither this 
driver nor the Amiga PCMCIA support have been converted to the driver 
framework. I couldn't see a way to add a sysfs parameter, so I'd rather 
keep this as kernel command line or module parameter.

Cheers,
