If there are bugs in pcmcia drivers, they are _really_ going to show
now. The change is that 'rmmod' is allowed even if the device is
"up". We don't grab/drop module reference counts when the device is
brought up/down. We simply "down" up net devices at
unregister_netdevice() time.
So if a device is racey, it's going to be "really" racey now.
If people mention which devices give the problems (with current
kernels, we've fixed a lot of bugs as of late) the drivers can
be audited for register/unregister bugs.
