PCI / PCMCIA linkage?

[Bill Layer <blayer@uswest.net>]

When building 2.2.16 without PCI support compiled-in, I get a total failure of
PCMCIA drivers on boot up. This makes sense if the PCMCIA cardbus is on the PCI
bus, but at boot time, a stock kernel reports: 

PCI: No PCI bus detected.

Would seem safe to remove any PCI support if I truly lack the hardware, eh? For
the record, the PCMCIA controller is an Intel i82365s, and it works perfectly
on a kernel _with_ PCI support built-in.

So if I have "no PCI" how is it that the PCMCIA fails after making a kernel
without PCI support? Is the boot message a lie?
