My intention was to keep Cardbus support working with old defconfig files,
and I've not moved CONFIG_CARDBUS into a separate submenu between
CONFIG_PCI_HOTPLUG and CONFIG_PCI_CONTROLLER but left the driver in
drivers/pci/hotplug. I think that's the best compromise here, but maybe
the PCI maintainers have a better idea.
