I doubt we would even think about that.  Considering that you get no warning
before it's ejected, and that they oftern suffer a big accesstime penalty,
it is not a good idea to use PCMCIA for main-memory.

We could add it as a "vm-cache", for inactive pages or something, that way
nothing would turn purple because those pages vanished...
