The pcic driver should be smart enough to find a free IRQ; in addition
pccardd shouldn't have to specify a list of IRQs to use; thats info the
kernel knows about.

I'm kind of curious to know if the newbus 'rewrite' leans this way.  I'm a
little skeptical of 'usbd', and 'pccardd' at this point; the need for
userland event delivery is one thing but at this point it looks like both
of them do nearly the same thing.  Matching drivers to hardware is
something a newbus driver should do itself; relying on an external hint
mechanism strikes me as a solution prone to user aggravation.  (speaking
as an aggravated user of course.)
