    It's fairly complex. Let's just summerise it as "yenta texas instruments
    IRQ routing fucked up" 8) The chip has a bunch of registers to control
    what signals get routed to which physical pins, and it seems that between
    June 2002 and today, some bad changes happened. I'm currently trying to
    track down each one, but, as there have been several levels of patching
    going on, it isn't simple.

    Yep, and I'm going to fix them as part of my present work.

    Think about what happens to ->init with the current system when you
    have two different cardbus controllers in the same machine.
