required, looks sane but not complete yet, reason:
drivers/mmc/core/core.c changed.
The card is now only removed if the sdio card driver does not have 
suspend/resume
functions. pre_suspend in sdio.c returns ENOSYS then which is called in core.c

does not seem to work without. It is unclear whether that is the proper fix.

I think I can better make use of the waitqueue in if_sdio.c to have it even 
simpler.

I have put together the stuff at 
https://github.com/akemnade/linux/tree/work/kemnade/wifi-sdio-fixes-v3

For now, that power management fix is not in. As it touches code which is also 
touched by some of the three neil patches in letux-base, I will first check 
what is up with the other ones.
