2.6.11-rc4-mm1 - pcmcia weirdness/breakage

[Valdis . Kletnieks]

Symptoms:  Running '/etc/init.d/pcmcia start' bombs - cardmgr goes into
a loop spewing repeated 'Common memory region at 0x0: Generic or SRAM'
messages.  In the dmesg, we find:

[4294764.989000]  <6>cs: IO port probe 0xc00-0xcff: clean.
[4294859.195000] cs: IO port probe 0xc00-0xcff: clean.

[4294859.369000] cs: unable to map card memory!
[4294859.369000] cs: unable to map card memory!

Now the odd part:

2.6.11-rc4 works, doesn't show the last 2 'unable to map' messages.
2.6.11-rc4 + linus.patch from -rc4-mm1 works as well - so it's a -mm patch doing it.

A full -rc4-mm1 fails, *as does* a -rc4-mm1 with all the following patches -R'ed:

broken-out/fix-u32-vs-pm_message_t-confusion-in-pcmcia.patch
broken-out/pcmcia-add-pcmcia-devices-autonomously.patch
broken-out/pcmcia-bridge-resource-management-fix.patch
broken-out/pcmcia-determine-some-useful-information-about-devices.patch
broken-out/pcmcia-mark-resource-setup-as-done.patch
broken-out/pcmcia-pcmcia_device_add.patch
broken-out/pcmcia-pcmcia_device_probe.patch
broken-out/pcmcia-pcmcia_device_remove.patch
broken-out/pcmcia-pd6729-convert-to-pci_register_driver.patch
broken-out/pcmcia-per-device-sysfs-output.patch
broken-out/pcmcia-rsrc_nonstatic-sysfs-input.patch
broken-out/pcmcia-rsrc_nonstatic-sysfs-output.patch
broken-out/pcmcia-update-vrc4171_card.patch
broken-out/pcmcia-use-bus_rescan_devices.patch
broken-out/pcmcia-yenta_socket-ti4150-support.patch

So the breakage is in *some other* -rc4-mm1 patch.  Any hints to speed up
the binary search?
