119What: PCMCIA control ioctl (needed for pcmcia-cs [cardmgr, cardctl])
120When: 2.6.35/2.6.36
121Files: drivers/pcmcia/: pcmcia_ioctl.c
122Why: With the 16-bit PCMCIA subsystem now behaving (almost) like a
123 normal hotpluggable bus, and with it using the default kernel
124 infrastructure (hotplug, driver core, sysfs) keeping the PCMCIA
125 control ioctl needed by cardmgr and cardctl from pcmcia-cs is
126 unnecessary and potentially harmful (it does not provide for
127 proper locking), and makes further cleanups and integration of the
128 PCMCIA subsystem into the Linux kernel device driver model more
129 difficult. The features provided by cardmgr and cardctl are either
130 handled by the kernel itself now or are available in the new
131 pcmciautils package available at
132 http://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/
133
134 For all architectures except ARM, the associated config symbol
135 has been removed from kernel 2.6.34; for ARM, it will be likely
136 be removed from kernel 2.6.35. The actual code will then likely
137 be removed from kernel 2.6.36.
