Hi,

(1)
Because the "pcmcia" is kernel module, so I think it should be
loaded by kernel, if kernel can do it.

(2)
Even if distribution developer forgets to install the pcmciautils,
the "pcmcia" is loaded with this patch.
(especially embedded systems)

(3)
I think request_module_nowait is better.

Best Regards
Komuro
