I took a look at mmc_test. It seems like it was meant more to test
cards, rather than block.c functionality, as it issues all MMC
requests by itself, instead of submitting via block layer. It would be
separately an interesting an idea to implement an MMC
reliable write test to mmc_test, but it wouldn't help much with bugs
in block.c. What do you think?
