This is easy to change.

: 3: NEWCARD doesn't seem to have any way to change the CIS window address. : It merrily maps into 0xd0000 and then explodes in the kernel probe due to : the "garbage" CIS there.

It should. However, right now there's lots of things that NEWCARD does that are kinda bogus...

Shouldn't we be doing the PnP BIOS recognition algorithms on the ROM area and not allowing any one to allocate the ROM area? How possible is that? IIRC from my reading of this stuff it should be really simple to add.

We should be using the SMAP information. However, I get the impression that if the CardBus bridge is working properly we can actually put the attribute ROM in PCI space, which is much better than rummaging for holes in the 640-1M range.
