This patch set is meant for as a review for comments, and is the result of the discussion on MMC quirks. Sorry ahead of time if I didn't format this correctly. It's my first tiem with git mail-send :-). For 1/3: Arnd suggested setting the default write alignment to adjust on to be 32K. Since I don't have conclusive data and I don't have a large set of flash memory to test on, the default behavior is "do nothing", i.e. only quirk 3/3 sets the parameter to 8K as per manufacturer suggestion. Table of Contents: [RFC 1/3] MMC: Adjust unaligned write accesses. [RFC 2/3] MMC: Add block quirks support. [RFC 3/3] MMC: Toshiba eMMC - Split 8K-unaligned accesses. Here is an example of the effects of 3/3 on the Toshiba MMC32G card.
