Just curious, roughly when were *these* controllers that you are
removing actually being sold in new systems? Because I think you're
leaving the drivers for the newer controllers in place, at least for the
moment.

One nit:

It might be nice to add a comment in that header about what its current
role still *is*. It seems like some (newer?) PCMCIA controllers shared
register ABI with the i82365.

But that's obviously super minor.
