Suppose that I found a way to make pcmcia-socket-starupt run on boot.
What would be the right test to decide if I have to run it?
The simplest would be something like this:

find /sys/class/pcmcia/pcmcia_socket -name pcmcia_socket[0-9]* | ...
name=$(basename $name)

However, is it safe to execute pcmcia-socket-startup for every socket
regardless of its type? Fedora runs on x86 and ppc.

I can test if this is yenta by looking through multiply symlinks like
/sys/class/pcmcia_socket/pcmcia_socket0/device/driver
and checking if the driver is yenta_cardbus. But would rather
avoid being too clever.
