Okay, so this broke the "weekly release" pattern. Nyeh.

This is primarily a bugfix release. Most notably, this should fix the
modversions-related compile problems a lot of people were reporting.
(Blame the Linux Kernel team for that rather ugly mess)

But there's a small pile of new things added. In particular,
TMD7160-based "PLX-like" adapters should work; This code is untested as
I don't have any pertinent hardware. HP-PA support, if someone would
care to test, a couple more card ident entries.. and then there's
Hotplug support.

As part of this hotplug support, the ATMEL USB device detection is
disabled, as we don't want to take over the ATMEL driver's registering
of its devices. (Especially in light of the newly-GPLed atmel driver..)

Feedback (and/or patches) appreciated, as always.

Changelog follows.

-pre4
  - Hotplug support for PCI/PLX/USB widgets
  - A compile fix for 2.2.x (x < 18) kernels and PCI adapters
  - Support for TMD7160-based "almost but not quite PLX" boards
  - HP-PA support. In theory. Anyone care to test?
  - pcmcia script cleanups
