It's certainly at least *potentially* -stable material, but because I 
suspect that the whole yenta_allocate_resources() -> pci_setup_cardbus() 
fallback code will end up resulting in a working setup, it may not be 
worth it.  At least not until we've heard from more people..

Can you check whether your vortex cardbus thing _works_ even without the 
fix?
