Performance numbers from user space may vary.
Currently I am looking into how the block layer adds request to the
mmc blockdev. I can see that if is common that one read request is
pushed to the mmc blockdev queue after the previous request has
already finished. For this scenario there will no improvement. If
running IOzone with large record sizes multiple requests are queued up
in the mmc blockdev queue and this results in increase of bandwidth.
The mmc_test are intended to help verifying if the pre_req and
post_req are implemented correctly and give a number of the maximum
gain in performance.
