I am definately interested in fixing this ... it's much worse than
that, because I was playing around with with WDC driver for the Sony
CD-ROM, and _that_ probe takes forever (maybe it just seems like
forever with the interrupts off :-) ).  I'm trying to make the PCMCIA
stuff actually behave reasonably with respect to hot-swapping ... I
think I have most of the pieces together, but gluing it all together is
going to be tricky.
