Guy,
This is exactly why I won't apply this patch.
Not many people are plugging PCMCIA bridges into parisc boxen.
Those that do can tweak this by hand if they really insist on
installing something that causes the kernel to crash.

I should have a bit of time next week to look at this
and one other parisc problem...but I first need to test the recipe
that willy posted last week for updating existing git source trees.

thanks for your patience and gentle reminder,
