OK, everyone, time to put our corks back in our spleens and stop spewing around the four-letter words. Brian, I am surprised your suggestion to switch to polling exclusively was ignored. Your idea to switch to polling is a good one. In fact, Nate Williams posted a message (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?db=irt&id=199809241705.LAA05726@mt.sri.com) endorsing the idea. Try searching the freebsd-mobile archive for "option AND enable AND PCIC" and look at some of the messages there. In particular, one message (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?db=irt&id=199809241441.IAA04864@mt.sri.com) gives a good hint as to where you might want to start to implement a polled-only approach to managing card insertion and removal. Since the "Powers That Be" only want to commit tested code, I hereby volunteer as a (semi-CURRENT) guinea pig for your code. I even have a bit of experience debugging laptop kernel code...
