Doesn't : the kernel know what IRQ's are in use or free? Or is there some : BIOS related complication? Generally speaking, you can't. There are too many whacked out configurations in the wild to be able to do it always. However, it wouldn't be too hard to do this. It is waiting for an ioctl to be written for the card device that asks "Can I use this?" so pccardd can be hacked to cope. The NEWCARD stuff should be better about this, btw.
