That's not hard to do.. So far it hasn't been added because noone has
tested it yet, but it's likely to "just work".

What you need to do is to take the cardbus+pcmcia stuff out of
sys/arch/i386/conf/files.i386, and put it in sys/arch/amd64/conf/files.amd64,
at the same spot. Then reconfigure the kernel.

If this works for you, let me know, and I'll enable it by default.
