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.
The kernel is 2.6.14

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,
              Michael
