I think this is a bug in pccard (or rather, in the way removable
devices are currently implemented in newbus).  If I reinsert the same
(or a functionally identical) device, I should be able to expect it to
start off from where it was before.

In other words, devices which are removed need to be accounted for as
``still attached but not physically present'' rather than simply
``gone''.
