Looks like the patchset hasn't been sent to linux-mmc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
yet -- could you send a v2 with that address included, please?

It would also be great to see descriptive commit messages, rather than
just patch subject lines.

Documentation-wise, the patchset mentions that host controller support
is required for this to work, but doesn't explain what kind of support
that is, and the sdhci-pci support seems unconditional on type of host
controller -- why wouldn't every controller work? Is it (just) because
other controller drivers use msleep?

Thanks,

- Chris.
