using PCMCIA driver for CF access

Hi.
I have a CF connected in PC Card ATA compatible IO mode.
It is connected directly to the host local bus.
The CPU is MPC8541 PowerQUICC III.

I'd like to use PCMCIA driver (ide-cs) to access the CF.
I expect to need minimal changes there:
- skipping reading the CIS and performing controller configuration - I
don't need it, I just need the ATA - conformant access.
- There is all the hotplug support thing that I obviously won't use,
but it shouldn't do any harm.

Are those reasonable assumptions, or I'm missing something here?

Thanks a lot.
