Perhaps if Linus can share a branch of the code integrated for the different tests, we all can help out running them on those HW we have at hand.

I want MMC to move to the new BLKMQ interface and I want that because of several reasons, see below. 1. It's new blk interface, all new development happens here. We should use it to benefit from that. 2. The BLKMQ interface allow the MMC block device driver to be significantly cleaner implemented - and I need that to be able to maintain the code. 3. We want to make use of Paolo's BFQ-MK I/O scheduler, which addresses provides guaranteed low latency. For example being able to play a video clip, while doing a disc backup without getting frame drops.
