Those were already commented out when using Linux 2.6.x and ejecting the
card (either physically or with 'cardctl eject') worked there.. I left
the old code for Linux 2.4.x because it looked like it was required for
some versions. Anyway, I just tested Linux 2.4.20 and 2.4.23 with these
defines commented out and both worked fine. I removed those completely
from the development branch, so ejecting the card while the netdevs are
up should now work both with Linux 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.

I think this is OK. PC Card has its interrupt line pulled up and when
the card is removed, an interrupt is generated. Those debug messages
could probably just be removed assuming everything seems to be working.
I used them more when the card ejecting was not as stable as it is now.
