After applying these patches to -CURRENT as of 2/19 ~11:00 EST pccard
Compact Flash adapter is being probed as ATA device but no longer
creates disk device. Moreover, ejecting the card does not produce any
messages (hw.pccard.debug=1, hw.cardbus.debug=1 and hw.cbb.debug = 1)
and no other pccard will be attached until reboot.

I have attached verbose dmesg from before and after with
hw.pccard.debug=1, hw.cardbus.debug=1 and hw.cbb.debug = 1. Please, let
me know whether I can provide any additional information.
