I noticed something last night, it seems that some ThinkPad's enable
interrupts for the cardbus controllers and some don't. Ie. mine
reports the two cardbus controllers, and audio and USB to all share
interrupt 11. However a colleagues machine doesn't report interrupts
for the cardbus controllers at all thus the card switch is detected by
polling the status registers as far as I can tell from the pcmcia
code. I wonder if what could be happening is related to the cardbus
controllers generating interrupts at suspend time, or maybe an
interrupt on the audio or USB devices that the pcmcia code confuses.
