I'd be glad to.  I just stole that from the "I hope this works" patch I found
in ~wpaul.  :)

Any suggestions for how to *correctly* do this welcome.  I have no prior
kernel experience.  What's a good way for a piece of the kernel to say "Come
back to me in about a tenth of a second"?

FWIW, most of my PCMCIA cards have at least 2 seconds of total system death
when they're plugged in...
