    cardbus: limit IO windows to 256 bytes

    That's what we've always historically done, and bigger windows seem to
    confuse some cardbus bridges. Or something.

    Alan reports that this makes the ThinkPad 600x series work properly
    again: the 4kB IO window for some reason made IDE DMA not work, which
    makes IDE painfully slow even if it works after DMA timeouts.

let me know any other test I should do to help find a solution to this
problem, thank you!
