Once the ioresource_t length is resolved, and the handle argument of

int pcmcia_adjust_resource_info(client_handle_t handle, adjust_t *adj)

is removed, we can try out a couple of things to adjust the resources the
PCMCIA subsystem offers to its "clients", e.g. PCMCIA card drivers. Of
course these are only valid for non-static sockets:

a) use the iomem and ioports reserved for CardBus cards,

b) use the iomem and ioport "behind" the parent PCI bridge, if such a bridge
   exists,

c) parse the ACPI tables for all _CRS or similar settings, and include all
   resources except those mentioned in the ACPI tables [x86, x86_64 only?]

d) same as c), but with PnP settings [x86, x86_64 only?]

e) trust /proc/io{mem,ports}
