You are correct. Each pcic controls two slots and the second
controller is normally for the slots in a docking station or port
expander.

In any case, the kernel would not need a rebuild. You would just have
to enable the second controller.

I know that Warner had some problems with the Cirrus Logic CardBus
controller and I also recall that there was a problem with only a
single slot working. I don't recall any details. It's possible that
updating to stable might fix things, but I'm not at all certain.
