So, that suggests that both our wishes can easily be satisfied
by a single update to the default apmd_proxy script:  you'll
be happy to comment it out, I'll be happy that PCMCIA support is
still supposed to work by default!  :-)

We should probably save that info about those drivers not being
able to handle suspends, and hence needing an "eject" to work
around current problems.  A comment would seem appropriate.
