Please cc me.

Well, yes.  I also suggest:
        - don't use host->lock spin lock at all
        - claim the host in the caller not in
        mmc_start_bkops()

But the main issues are design issues not implementation.
i.e.
        - always run bkops at level 3 before doing any
        other requests - that requirement should probably
        be implemented in core rather than the block driver
        - do not release the host while bkops are running

And a new one:
        - how do you know that trim/discard/sanitize will not
        result in a need for bkops?
