While trying to get my PCMCIA modem to work (see kern/32938), I found that the 
code that results in "com2: ns16550a, working fifo" would produce that 
message even if the IO space setup was not working.  It is possible that the 
IO-space for this card suffers the same problem as described in the PR.  I am 
not sure, however, if the code in com_pcmcia.c supports cards with two 
interfaces.
