Many thanks for your informative reply.

I've just tested the updated 11-pcmcia patchset:

a) still resources are used which are beyond the "ioports/iomem behind
  bridge" of the parent PCI-PCI bridge. What's in
  s->cb_dev->bus->resource[] seems to be different from what lspci -vvv
  says...?

b) Limiting /etc/pcmcia/config.opts to the "ioports/iomem behind bridge"
  works fine.

c) If the patchset is included in the kernel, there needs to be a big
  warning as most /etc/pcmcia/config.opts settings on current x86 notebooks
  will fail: the port and memory ranges usually mentioned there are most
  likely different from the "memory/ioports behind bridge" of PCI-PCI
  bridges "above" CardBus sockets... Of course, this doesn't apply if a)
  mentioned above is invalid...
