pcmcia is initialized _after_ initcall()'s are done, so I suspect it would not work. There's probably good reason: pcmcia_init() needs to know what areas are allocated.

Integrating it was rather easy... I do not think much thinking is required. And - bulkmem is already there, is it? ;-). I can not see anything wrong with one_driver_at_a_time approach.
