Very strange. Send it over for debugging :)

I continued testing and found that neither MADIface nor the normal RME
ExpressCard are recognized in a Thinkpad X200 (Centrino 2). pciehp
always runs into the following:

[  757.159762] pciehp 0000:00:1c.3:pcie02: Card present on Slot(3)
[  757.183821] pciehp 0000:00:1c.3:pcie02: Card not present on Slot(3)
[  757.188186] pciehp 0000:00:1c.3:pcie02: Card present on Slot(3)
[  757.212205] pciehp 0000:00:1c.3:pcie02: Card not present on Slot(3)

etc. And a while after removing the card, the machine crashes with
colorful pixelart (never had that in a long time).

Same on the IdeaPad S10 (ICH7). With the Thinkpad r61 (Ricoh Chipset),
everything works as it should.

So I figure these problems rather come from a broken pciehp driver and
bad/missing chipset support than from the hdsp(m) driver itself.
