Robert,

Thanks for the quick reply, as always.

I'm aware of u-boot overlays, and have already started using them. It's
really just the hotplug that I'm missing. Specifically, I have a cape that
hijacks the eMMC pins on P8.
I've come to the conclusion that, at some point, I want to stop talking to
the cape, and start talking to the eMMC again. Do you know of *any* way
that I can make that happen?
I don't care how off-the-wall the solution is -- the application is the
Mecca of edge cases already.

Best,
Fred
