I'm building 4.5-RC1 today. As a result, I suspect that it's something else that is causing these problems. PCCARD support, especially interrupt handling, was re-worked for 4.4 and I suspect you problem lies here. For 4.4, PCI interrupt sharing was enabled for the first time in STABLE. This is nice as it allows the pcics and all cards plugged into them to share a single interrupt. But a few pcics do not support this. I know that the Cirrus Logic controller was a real problem. This is what was the problem in the cited PR. I'm not sure of the status of a fix for the problem. Does your system have a Cirrus Logic pcic? For more help, please include the output of dmesg, any sysctl changes for pcic, and relevant parts of the kernel configuration. R.
