We have several device that are "live" on pcmcia, and have a lot of
complexity introduced to them via this.
I strongly suspect there is even "dead" code, which we are keeping
around just because of Card Services API specifications. I hate "dead"
code.
I suppose I could be just like everyone else and avert my eyes, and work
on other things.
