I don't know how this is supposed to work.  I was told by one person
(Gary King) that the subtraction was necessary, and by another person
(drambo) that it was not correct according to the manufacturer of
their eMMC device.  See
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-tegra@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg00079.html
for the previous discussion.

Have you verified that the area of the eMMC device between CSD_SECTORS
- BOOT_SECTORS and CSD_SECTORS is not accessible on your device?
