lshw uses deprecated PCMCIA ioctl interface

Binary package hint: lshw

When using the lshw tool to get a list of the hardware in my system, I get the following warning in /var/log/syslog:

Mar 8 15:18:13 ferrari kernel: [25713.197235] pcmcia: Detected deprecated PCMCIA ioctl usage from process: lshw.
Mar 8 15:18:13 ferrari kernel: [25713.197239] pcmcia: This interface will soon be removed from the kernel; please expect breakage unless you upgrade to new tools.
Mar 8 15:18:13 ferrari kernel: [25713.197242] pcmcia: see http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/pcmcia.html for details.

I'm not familiar with the lshw code or the pcmcia-cs package and the work going on there in Debian and being merged into Ubuntu, nor do I have the pcmcia-cs package installed. Having taken a brief look at the lshw code, I noticed the following in src/core/pcmcia.cc:

/* parts of this code come from the excellent pcmcia-cs package written by
 * David A. Hinds <email address hidden>.
 */

plus ioctl() usage in the get_tuple(), pcmcia_ident() and scan_pcmcia() functions. I'm no kernel hacker, so I don't know what the correct solution to this is, but the promise of breakage suggests that this should be addressed.
