Looks like maybe I was a little bit too hasty and there is a better
explanation and fix. Please see:

>     cmd[0] = MMC_GET_PERFORMANCE;
>     cmd[1] = dataType;
>     cmd[2] = lba >> 24;
>     cmd[3] = lba >> 16;
>     cmd[4] = lba >> 8;
>     cmd[5] = lba;
>     cmd[8] = numDesc>>8;
>     cmd[9] = numDesc;
>     cmd[10] = type;
>     cmd[11] = 0;     // Necessary to set the proper command length
> [[[[]]]]
