Subject: Re: [PATCH RESEND] pcmcia: Fix a NULL pointer dereference in
 __iodyn_find_io_region()

Many thanks, applied to pcmcia-next. This allocation is practically no-fail
owing to GFP_KERNEL and the small allocation size, and rsrc_iodyn.c is on
its way out, but it's better safe than to be sorry.

Best,
	Dominik
