suggestion for patchset "12"

[Dominik Brodowski]

Here's my proposal for a patchset named "12-pcmcia", which applies on
top of 11-pcmciaresource. The patches are available in compressed form 
at:
http://www.brodo.de/patches/2004-03-28/pcmcia-b12.tar.bz2
or
http://www.brodo.de/patches/2004-03-28/pcmcia-b12.tar.gz

and as single patches as follows:


http://www.brodo.de/patches/2004-03-28/01-unused_bulkmem_code

Most of drivers/pcmcia/bulkmem.c is unused by the Linux kernel
PCMCIA subsystem and/or in-kernel PCMCIA device drivers. Remove
this unused code as well as references to it.

http://www.brodo.de/patches/2004-03-28/02-move_bulkmem

The rest of drivers/pcmcia/bulkmem.c is only used by code
relevant for 16-bit PCMCIA devices. So, link it with ds instead
of with cs. The newly created module pcmcia.ko contains a MODULE_ALIAS()
for the name "ds" so that backwards compatibility is ensured.

Remove both include/pcmcia/ftl.h and include/pcmcia/memory.h as they
are unused.

Add a new CONFIG_PCMCIA_OBSOLETE option.

http://www.brodo.de/patches/2004-03-28/05-obsolete_parts_of_cs

Some parts of cs.c are not used by any PCMCIA socket or card driver or the PCMCIA
subsystem itself. Mark them CONFIG_PCMCIA_OBSOLETE. Also, define pcmcia_get_window 
static as it was supposed to be.

http://www.brodo.de/patches/2004-03-28/06-Kconfig_PCMCIA

After noting three things, namely
1.) CardBus cards work without ds a.k.a. pcmcia loaded,
2.) ds a.k.a pcmcia cannot be built as module if pcmcia_core is built in, and
3.) some commenting in drivers/pcmcia/Kconfig was obsolete 
	[to use 32-bit cards, you don't need pcmcia-cs],
I wrote this patch which introduces more config options for fine-grained tuning
of what to built as what and what not to built. In future, 16-bit-specific code
in pcmcia_core may be surrounded by CONFIG_PCMCIA. Also, I'll try to remove
the dependency of yenta_socket on cardbus.
