[PATCH] pcmcia: add some Documentation

Browse Source 
Add some information useful for PCMCIA device driver authors to
Documentation/pcmcia/, and reference it in dmesg in case of hash mismatches.

Also add a reference to pcmciautils to Documentation/Changes.  With recent
changes, you don't need to concern yourself with pcmcia-cs even if you have
PCMCIA hardware, so the example above the list needed to be adapted as well.

PCMCIAutils
-----------
PCMCIAutils replaces pcmcia-cs (see below). It properly sets up
PCMCIA sockets at system startup and loads the appropriate modules
for 16-bit PCMCIA devices if the kernel is modularized and the hotplug
subsystem is used.
Pcmcia-cs
---------
PCMCIA (PC Card) support is now partially implemented in the main
kernel source. Pay attention when you recompile your kernel ;-).
Also, be sure to upgrade to the latest pcmcia-cs release.
