As far as I can tell, device sdhci-pci hasn't been in a release, and we can still keep it out of 2.5: * Created in commit 224d10f, v2.3.0. * Made unavailable in commit 1910913, v2.3.0 * Made available in commit 5ec911c, not yet released. I'll post a patch making it unavailable again right away, to give you options.
