Hi everyone,

As I've mentioned to some of you, I've been working on restructuring the MMC 
layer in order to make it more easily maintained and to allow extensions like 
SDIO support. A first draft of this is now
ready for public review. I've cc:d those who have been waiting for this patch 
set (and Russell since he always gives blunt, but valuable feedback ;)).

Because of the size of the thing I decided to not attach it, but instead 
publish it in my public git tree:

http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/drzeus/mmc.git;a=log;h=mmc-ng

One major mess right now is that the MMC layer handles two tasks: arbitrating 
who gets access to buses and cards, and initialising new cards as they are 
discovered. These two are currently intertwined
and it is difficult to get a decent overview of the system.

This first draft tries to solve this by moving all protocol stuff to their own 
files. The new core simply identifies what type of card that is present, then 
delegates the rest of the initialisation.

The commits themselves are a bit rough and will be more fine grained in a final 
version, but the end result should be the same. So I'd like to get as much 
input as possible from anyone who has the
time to review it. There are lots of changes, so I'm bound to have made 
mistakes in a few places.

Rgds
