merging PCMCIA changes

of PCMCIA changes waiting in -mm. These are:

In addition, five quite trivial patches I sent to Andrew a few minutes ago
might also be suitable to go into Linus' latest immediately. These were
titeled:

[PATCH 1/5] pcmcia: more IDs for TDK multifunction cards
[PATCH 2/5] pcmcia: 8 and 16 bit access for static_map
[PATCH 3/5] pcmcia: sl811 update
[PATCH 4/5] pcmcia: more IDs for ide_cs
[PATCH 5/5] pcmcia: export modalias in sysfs

However, if you are of the opinion that these five patches should survive
one -mm cycle first, please delay only them and do not let the other PCMCIA
patches wait for them.

Also, one other pci-related change very helpful for PCMCIA was in -mm for
quite some time and, to my knowledge, did not cause any problems. It was
titled 

gregkh-pci-pci-pci-transparent-bridge-handling-improvements-pci-core.patch

and was present until 2.6.12-rc5-mm2. While a different patch intending the
same functionality is in -mm, the related changes to the PCI infrastructure
cause severe headaches (see bug 
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4737 for example, other, similar
reports were posted to lkml.) Therefore I'd suggest to merge the patch
mentioned above at first, and fix up new PCI patches in -mm first.

Thanks,
