: 
: Socket 1:
:   Vcc 5.0V  Vpp1 0.0V  Vpp2 0.0V
:   interface type is "memory and I/O"
:   irq 3 [exclusive] [level]
:   speaker output is enabled
:   function 0:
:     config base 0x0700
:       option 0x61 status 0x08 ext 0x00
:     io 0x02f8-0x02ff [8bit]

Right now there's no mechanism to do this easily.  With OLDCARD,
there's no way.  With NEWCARD there's a hint mechanism for the CIS,
but I've not used it in a long time.  Look at
src/sys/dev/pccard/pccard.c

We really need to have something like this.
