+What:   PCMCIA control ioctl (needed for pcmcia-cs [cardmgr, cardctl])
+When:   November 2005
+Files:  drivers/pcmcia/: pcmcia_ioctl.c
+Why:    With the 16-bit PCMCIA subsystem now behaving (almost) like a
+        normal hotpluggable bus, and with it using the default kernel
+        infrastructure (hotplug, driver core, sysfs) keeping the PCMCIA
+        control ioctl needed by cardmgr and cardctl from pcmcia-cs is
+        unnecessary, and makes further cleanups and integration of the
+        PCMCIA subsystem into the Linux kernel device driver model more
+        difficult. The features provided by cardmgr and cardctl are either
+        handled by the kernel itself now or are available in the new
+        pcmciautils package available at
+        http://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/
