2* No dev_node_t (as of 2.6.35)
3 There is no more need to fill out a "dev_node_t" structure.
4
5* New IRQ request rules (as of 2.6.35)
6 Instead of the old pcmcia_request_irq() interface, drivers may now
7 choose between:
8 - calling request_irq/free_irq directly. Use the IRQ from *p_dev->irq.
9 - use pcmcia_request_irq(p_dev, handler_t); the PCMCIA core will
10 clean up automatically on calls to pcmcia_disable_device() or
11 device ejection.
12 - drivers still not capable of IRQF_SHARED (or not telling us so) may
13 use the deprecated pcmcia_request_exclusive_irq() for the time
14 being; they might receive a shared IRQ nonetheless.
