In revision 1.132 of if_xl.c the default was changed to try MMIO first
(previously only compiling without XL_USEIOSPACE defined would enable
MMIO).

Failure mode is that the card fails to attach (by way of xl_read_eeprom()
in xl_attach()).

This may only be a problem for some subset of 3c575 cards.  Its likely
that the Cardbus layer will use the CIS to deny resource allocations for
these cards and obsolete this workaround.
