Cardbus/pcmcia no longer supports CF in rawhide (no pcmcia-cs?)

The last time I successfully used my CF card in my cardbus/pcmcia slot
was July 12th (last log listing below).  Since then, I have not been able
to mount the CF card.

The only apparent activity that takes place when I insert a CF card in my
cardbus/pcmcia slot is:

/var/log/messages:
Jul 29 06:16:00 white kernel: cs: memory probe 0xdfd00000-0xdfdfffff: excluding 0xdfd00000-0xdfd0ffff 0xdfdf0000-0xdfdfffff

A couple of weeks ago (July 15th), pcmcia-cs was uninstalled because of a
new hwdata.  I may have done this manually, I don't remember the exact
details, it was 2 weeks ago today according to yum.log.  I looks like
pcmciautils might be attempting to replace pcmcia-cs, except the only
error message pccardctl supports is "invalid or unknown argument" (no
help option).

Is there some other package being used for cardbus/pcmcia userland
support instead of pcmcia-cs?

There's no block devices listed for the CF card in /sys/block.
