Have you confirmed that the extra MFC things that we do are
appropriate fro the xircom cards?  For real MFC cards we have to do a
dance with acking interrupts at the pccard layer.

I'll look at the rest of this patch to see how well it is going to
work with the wide range of cards that I have here...
