[PCMCIA] "driver services" socket add/remove abstraction
Previously, "Driver Services" could only be called when the socket drivers were initialized earlier. This caused an awful lot of problems, especially when modprobe tried to load ds.ko and a pcmcia card driver at once. As all socket devices are registered with the driver model core as being of "class_type pcmcia_socket_class", we can take use of that and register them with "Driver Services" upon detection or upon module loading of ds.c. Also, the "I-need-two-initcalls-in-a-module"-tweak can go away. Unfortunately, this patch reportedly breaks some RedHat pcmcia init scritps - they relied on the failed loading of ds.c to detect that no socket driver was loaded previously. To properly detect this, you should take a look at the /sys/class/pcmcia_socket/devices directory.
