Removing pcata would simplify any other work done in the common pcmcia
code, since it would be one less driver that would have to be updated
and tested.
Cleaning up pcmcia would probably simplify a lot of other things --
these pcmcia device drivers are way way more complex than they should be
IMO, largely because of the arcane Card Services and Socket Services APIs.
This isn't high priority stuff, but just stuff I'd like to see
improved/cleaned up, since it seems unlikely that we'll be able to
actually *remove* any of it anytime soon.
