PATCH 1/1 pcmcia: replace cardctl with in-kernel socketctl

Socketctl can replace the userspace tool "cardctl" and provide the user with many useful information in sysfs directories (one per socket) below the actual socket device. Also, "insert", "eject", "suspend", "resume" and "reset" commands can be echo'ed into the file "status" in that directory.

As this does not depend on any other change, is a Good Thing IMO, and will us enable to get rid of the ds.c ioctl after my devices/hotplug/matching changes are merged.
