At some point before 2.6.20, the mmc subsystem moved the card
detection code to its own workqueue. One consequence of this change
is that when using an mmc card as a root device, the card may get
detected after the init task attempts to mount the root filesystem,
causing a kernel panic because the root device could not be opened.
This patch adds a call to mmc_flush_scheduled_work() late in the boot
sequence so that we can be sure the mmc card detection scans are
complete before attempting to use an mmc device as a root device.
