The bounce buffer is gone from the MMC core, and now we found out
that there are some (crippled) i.MX boards out there that have broken
ADMA (cannot do scatter-gather), and broken PIO so they must use
SDMA.
SDMA sets down the number of segments to one, so that each segment
gets turned into a singular request that ping-pongs to the block
layer before the next request/segment is issued.
These devices can see major benefits from a bounce buffer, as
a fragmented read or write buffer may come in even though the sectors
we will be reading or writing to the MMC/SD-card are consecutive.
This patch accumulates those fragmented scatterlists in a physically
contigous bounce buffer so that we can issue bigger DMA data chunks
to/from the card.
When tested with thise PCI-integrated host (1217:8221) that
only supports SDMA:
0b:00.0 SD Host controller: O2 Micro, Inc. OZ600FJ0/OZ900FJ0/OZ600FJS
SD/MMC Card Reader Controller (rev 05)
This patch gave ~1Mbyte/s improved throughput on large reads and
writes when testing using iozone than without the patch.
It is possible to achieve even better speed-ups by adding a second
bounce buffer so that the ->pre_req() hook in the driver can do
the buffer copying and DMA mapping/flushing while the request is
in flight. We save this optimization for later.

ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Skip the remapping and fiddling with the buffer, instead use
dma_alloc_coherent() and use a simple, coherent bounce buffer.
- Couple kernel messages to ->parent of the mmc_host as it relates
to the hardware characteristics.
