On a totally different subject, I discovered today that the pccard
code does not worh with SMP kernels. pccard.c calls INTREN() which has
to be handled specially in the #ifdef APIC_IO case, and it isn't.

What's that I hear you say? Who could possibly need pccard support
and SMP together? There are no SMP laptops, right? Well don't forget:
the ISA version of the WaveLAN/IEEE card is really a PCMCIA bridge
adapter whith a PCMCIA card plugged into it. Trying to boot an SMP
kernel on the Dell PowerEdge 2300/400 with the pccard support turned
on causes a nice nasty panic as soon as the bridge adapter is probed.

Unfortunately, I have no clue how to fix this.
