Hi,There is a problem when PCMCIA related stuff
is used as module, ATA CF is not recognized.

This is because PCMCIA atachment is not compiled 
when pccard(4) is not compiled in.

To fix it, we have to supply PCMCIA attachment
in any form.
One way is to make a kernel module that contains only
ATA/PCMCIA attachment with this Makefile

==
.PATH: ${.CURDIR}/../../dev/ata

KMOD= atacard
SRCS= ata-card.c

SRCS+= bus_if.h device_if.h card_if.h power_if.h

.include <bsd.kmod.mk>
===

Then two question.
1. May I commit this workaround?
2. Are there any people working on ATA for making it fully
moduler?
