No it doesn't.  There isn't a resource allocator for statically mapped
sockets.

The "two drivers accessing the same IO address" problem is solved purely
by the drivers doing the request_region() call and checking the return
value.  PCMCIA is no different in this respect on static sockets from an
ISA or PCI device plugged into a socket.
