Hi Carlos,

This is very nice work and it is something that should be in the kernel.

Unfortunately, I won't have time to look at this until the end of the
week. So just hang tight, I haven't overlooked you. :)

Just make sure that it checks for MMC_CAP_BYTEBLOCK - if that flag isn't
set, the host can't do non-power of two transfers, so probably password
support has to be refused on such hosts.
