Right, the distros probably all enabled MMC_RICOH_MMC earlier than
upstream. Can you test a custom kernel based off your distro kernel but
just disabling that config option? That's probably the easiest fix
currently, even though not ideal. Perhaps there should be a command line
option to disable specific pci quirks to make this easier.

An ideal fix is I feel hard, given this quirk is based on undocumented
config registers -- it worked on Dell machines (that's where the
original authors seem to have gotten their info from), perhaps they had
only one Cardbus slot, but the code ends up disabling your second
Cardbus slot instead of disabling the MMC controller.
