SubjectRe: [PATCH 2.4.28-pre4-bk6] delkin_cb: new driver for Cardbus IDE CF adaptor
please also cc: linux-ide@vger.kernel.org

generally it should be like that: 2.6.x first, 2.4.x later

IDE layer doesn't support hot insertion/removal of _any_ interfaces

ide_unregister() calls are not allowed unless somebody fixes locking
(Alan fixed many issues but some more work is still needed)
