mmc-multi-sector-writes.patch
From: Pierre Ossman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Adds support for writing multiple sectors at once. This allows
back-to-back transfers of sectors giving roughly double write throughput.
To be able to detect which sector is causing problems the system falls back
to single sector writes if a failure is detected.
