Yes.  I tested this.  skel.c now compiles and seems to work.  I was
able to add/delete the driver and also have pccardd respond to both a
manual unload as well as a pulling the card out unload.

While the code may be unused in the current kernel with the current
drivers, I still find it useful to have it enabled.  At worst it takes
up a few extra bytes in the kernel...  It has all the appearances of
working.  I was able to load/unload a driver drived from the new skel
10 times w/o any problems.

I'm working on probe code for a pccard device right now, so not having
to reboot for each change is a big win for me.
