I'm curious about this as well.  It seems pretty clear to me in the
work I've done on the laptops I've had that PCIC is indeed a bridge
device that has an ISA or PCI attachment.

I do think that the "new bus" stuff that is being worked on will make
many of these arguments go away.  It is like newconfig, only more
dynamic and flexible (in a very brief nutshell).

I'll be getting a new laptop on Monday that has CardBus in it, and I'd
like to see CardBus support.  I'll be taking a look at the work that
has been done in this area with an eye towards including it FreeBSD's
mainline, likely with any changes needed for it to work with newbus.
