Now it is possible to suspend/resume with inserted and active card.
To reinitialize card on resume and to detect card change while suspended,
implement bus rescan routines. It can also be used by controllers without
card presence detection signals or with multiple cards per slot support.
While there, cleanup msleep() usage. We have no any rights to exit without
"request done" signal from driver as it could lead to modify after free.
sdhci supports up to 65535 blocks transfers, at91_mci - one block.
Enable multiblock operations disabled before to follow at91_mci driver
limitations.

Erase operation gives card's logic information about unused areas to help it
implement wear-leveling with lower overhead comparing to usual writing.
Erase is much faster then write and does not depends on data bus speed.
Also as result of hitting in-card write logic optimizations I have measured
up to 50% performance boost on writing undersized blocks into preerased areas.
At the same time there are strict limitations on size and allignment of erase
operations. We can erase only blocks aligned to the erase sector size and
with size multiple of it. Different cards has different erase sector size
which usually varies from 64KB to 4MB. SD cards actually allow to erase
smaller blocks, but it is much more expensive as it is implemented via
read-erase-write sequence and so not sutable for the BIO_DELETE purposes.

disabled by default because there's problems with it on AT91RM9200,
currently the only host controller in the tree. I've not had time to
track those problems to ground. I'm committing because this is
important for other host controllers that are in the pipeline.

to kproc_xxx as they actually make whole processes.
Thos makes way for us to add REAL kthread_create() and friends
that actually make theads. it turns out that most of these
calls actually end up being moved back to the thread version
when it's added. but we need to make this cosmetic change first.
I'd LOVE to do this rename in 7.0 so that we can eventually MFC the
new kthread_xxx() calls.
SD Simplified specification, as well as other SD and SDIO
implemenations I've examined, suggest this disclaimer may be required.
It is unclear to me exactly what the license would be for, or why it
might be required. Err on the side of caution and include this
disclaimer so anybody deploying this code can judge for themselves. I
have no further unformation about the details.
should be easily adapted to SD 2.0 (aka SDHC), SDIO, MMC and MMCplus
cards. At the present time, there's only one bridge driver for the
ARM9 based Atmel AT91RM9200.
