Yes and no.  But it isn't really relevant to newcard, which always,
for PCI devices, uses PCI interrupts.  O2 Micro parts work fairly
well, even.

The PC Cards have one interrupt pin, and have no knowledge of how they
are routed.  The pccard code ignores the interrupts listed unless
we're plugged into an ISA bridge.  So that can't be the issue.
