and permanently is wrong.
if pcmcia calls the serial_register, and then the serial_deregister
function,
the ioports are still reserved, even though the hardware may be _gone_.
that's not right, is it?
Shouldn't serial.c release the io-range when you remove the cards, and
not keep it around? Makes it impossible for another driver to access
those ioports.
