Yes, that's PCMCIA infrastructure work.

Well, there are mostly four areas, which, in my opinion, should be solved
like this:

sound/pcmcia/		should be under		SOUND
drivers/net/pcmcia/	should be under		NETWORK DEVICE DRIVERS
drivers/scsi/pcmcia/	should be under		SCSI SUBSYSTEM
and
drivers/char/pcmcia/cm4000_cs.c			OMNIKEY CARDMAN 4000 DRIVER
drivers/char/pcmcia/cm4040_cs.c			OMNIKEY CARDMAN 4040 DRIVER
and finally
drivers/char/pcmcia/ipwireess/*			IPWIRELESS DRIVER

Thanks!
