lspci doesn't help you to find the regions that pcmcia shouldn't use.

Based upon discussion I've had with Arjan, the only thing that tells

Apparantly, the Red Hat installer has such a list of currently known
SMI ports and other quirks, and builds a custom configuration for
cardmgr at installation based upon the hardware it discovers in the
machine.
