PCMCIA package support for i386


1. Are those BCRs in the SA1110 Assabet board coorresponding to the
    registers in the PCMCIA controller (VADEM VG-468, for example)?

2. Is the "*attr" member in the struct cf_slot for attribute memory? How
about
    members of "*io" and "* mem"? common memory? How to define the address
    on PC?
