Thanks for the patchset Chuanxiao! I will spend some time reviewing
this in more detail as soon as I can.

One important point though, before I start reviewing. I would like the
"Normal read" to be performed for a host driver supporting the
asynchronous mmc request feature. Currently sdhci don't support this,
but there is patch suggesting to add this which you might want to
use/review.
