Commit 9c37066d888bf6e1b96ad12304971b3ddeabbad0 (proc: remove proc_bus)
came through -mm that contains a patch implementing the overdue removal
of the PCMCIA control ioctl that did not yet make it into Linus' tree:

Okay, this means at least one of my platforms is now dead as far as
building new kernels for it, and nothing I can do about that. Ho hum.

I don't get it. Several of us had building problems for a few
days with some pasic driver. We posted some bug reports and
some patches, but we put up with it for a few days...

What don't you get?

Why you said "building new kernels for it".
So it confused me. It's not strictly a build issue,
it's a run-time issue.


I've said each time the PCMCIA ioctl removal topic came up that it would
give me this precise problem. I've given details of _why_ it would cause
me that problem. It's gone ahead inspite of that.
