There is a wealth of old ISA drivers that don't know about the wonders of ioremap so that's why there is isa_slot_offset as a killer solution for all ISA crapola. > If I make ioremap use isa_slot_offset for addresses under 16MB, then > PCMCIA works for me.

What is an address less than 16mb in your case? Most MIPS systems have memory at that physical address so maybe you're not talking about physical addresses? > On a somewhat related note, I've noticed that if I include IDE disk > support in my kernel (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK, ide-disk.o), then stuff > breaks; most noticibly, the PCMCIA IRQ scan returns the negative (!) > of the correct values.
