Well, cardbus is the only place that currently needs to forcefully remove a
PCI device, and in the case that you do that I think it's best to not trust
the driver but to always clean up after it.  pccard does the same thing as
well for ejected cards.

Sure.  I've committed some of the more harmless bits already.  I've
regenerated the full set of remaining patches at the same URL.  I've
also split out two sub-patches:

~jhb/patches/cardbus_bus_space.patch - this just changes the cardbus_cis
 code to use bus_*() instead of bus_space_*()

~jhb/patches/rom.patch - this is the set of changes to add PCIR_BIOS
 support to the pci(4) bus driver and remove the special hacks for it
 from cardbus
