I'm not that worried about cardbus ... in fact I wouldn't be surprised
if it's already somewhat broken, I haven't tested it in a long time...

I'm more worried about basic functionality and expectations about when
things happen during boot vs. platform hacks, that and pseries specific
kind of hotplug which can be a bit odd.
