NetBSD went this route a while ago. FreeBSD originally tried this to
cope with multifunction cards. However, it turns out that we're
better off not worrying about the function number, and instead worry
about the function type for the function. This has worked well in
NetBSD, and all FreeBSD's relevant drivers have been converted.

as type 0, rather than the usualy type 4. Assume that this format is
from an old standard and go with it. The Fujitsu FMV-186A and Silicom
Ethernet cards I have both have tuples with this format, and they are
both pretty old cards.

for the vast majority of our cards. However, they are critically
needed to distinguish different fe based PC Cards (the FMV-182 from
the 182A) which need to be treated differently (the ethernet address
is loaded not from the standard CIS-based ethernet tuples, but from
differing locations in attribute space based on the version string in
CIS3. This should have no impact for other users of this function.
card, and works with that driver. However, Eagle is using Fujitsu's
vendor number and a product code of 4, which seems a little odd.
Still, there's no conflicts...
prodstr may be NULL when fetched. For the default device description,
guard against this and return the numeric IDs instead when this
happens. For the matching routines, and consider NULL to not match
those entries that aren't NULL w/o calling strcmp.

(1) Align to 64k for the CIS. Some cards don't like it when we aren't
aligned to a 64k boundary. I can't find anything in the standard
that requires this, but I have 1/2 dozen cards that won't work at
all unless I enable this.
(2) Sleep 1s before scanning the CIS. This may be a nop, but has little
harm.
(3) The CIS can be up to 4k in some weird, odd-ball edge cases. Since we
have limiters for when that's not the case, it does no harm to increase
it to 4k.
#1 was submitted, in a different form, by Carlos Velasco.
Xircom had an unfortunate habit of re-using PCMCIA IDs for quite different
cards - the xe driver knows about this and uses the first byte of 'extra'
PCMCIA ID info to identify cards with ambiguous IDs.

is really EtherExpress or EEPro or what, but it does appear in a
couple of ethernet cards that have appeared recently on ebay. Silicom
appears to make these cards, and they have the 82595TX chipset in
them, and sometimes uarts. The ex driver needs some work to support
these cards, but I thought I'd get the device into pccarddevs.
o Fix MFC cards. We were bogusly setting CCR_IOBASE[01] and CCR_IOLIMIT.
now when we activate the resource, we adjust these for MFC cards, per the
spec.
o Change type of pf_mfc_* to be bus_addr_t, which is more correct than
long.
This makes my 3C362D/3C363D and 3CXEM556 cards work! Woo Hoo!
