    [PATCH] kill pcmcia driver bind_info horror · dca114f5
    Christoph Hellwig authored
    Currenty pcmcia drivers do a loop on their devices for issuing a
    SCSI_IOCTL_GET_IDLUN ioctl from kernelspace and passing dev->type
    to userspace so cardmgr can guess the the dev_t and find the
    device node of it.
    
    But it doesn't actually use it but only pass it as optional arguments
    to it's poor-man's hotplug scripts.  So kill this horror of, we
    have proper hotplug scripts in 2.5.  And here we go, the first big
    host->my_devices abuser is gone.
