There is an upstream list of PCMCIA drivers that are about to be removed from
the kernel in the near future:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/Y07d7rMvd5++85BJ@owl.dominikbrodowski.net/

Let's disable those marked as [-] for a couple of reasons:
1) to see if there are any users
2) drop orphaned (potentially insecure) code
3) free some space

The list:
