Well, it sounds like my logic above is screwed.  Let's be Sherlock:

 - pccardd doesn't do it (I checked)
 - the kernel doesn't do it (I checked)
 - the card _can't_ do it (it has no idea what IRQ is actually being
   generated)

So once the impossible has been eliminated, I can only conclude that 
the pcic *does* interpret the CIS.

Without the PCCARD standard or any pcic documentation to hand I can't 
go much further than this, but I think we do need to establish whether 
this is really the case, and if it is, what we can do about it.
