It looks like pcmcia-cs 3.1.27 (at least -- didn't check earlier versions) have
a NO_FUSER option which can by used to bypass using fuser entirely, so there is
a workaround available.

Checking (for if/when this does get implemented) it also appears that the following 
fuser options are required for pcmcia-cs to opetate when NO_FUSER=n:
    fuser -s -m -k -v name [name...] 

This will take a bit of time to code up such a tool, and so this will not be
implemented for the 0.53 release.  I'm also going to drop the priority down to
wishlist.
