For newcard, yes.  The 64k limit still exists, but it can be anywhere
(the 64k limit is in the size of the registers).  But this is true
*ONLY* for pci cardbus bridges, not isa pcic ones.

It was either-or until this change.  Now NEWCARD has the ability to
support pccards, but we need to add a bunch of stuff to the probe
routines.

We need to do this in a compatible with OLDCARD manner, and I'm not
sure that the changes Jonathan committed do this since he didn't run
them by me first.  And he broke OLDCARD while doing it, it seems,
since he changed an interface that oldcard and newcard share. :-(.
Yes, I'm grumpy about this...
