I see.

Need hot-swap?
Outline of what to hack:
1) hack the pcic bridge code to not reject memory cards (linear flash
show up as memory cards, at least the ones I have do).
2) hack the pcic bridge code to do the right thing wrt memory cards.
3) write a client driver.
1 & 2 may be hard, but #3 shouldn't be too bad if you have decent docs
for your linear cards.
