The sources from the link you pasted make it appear that the APM card is
a rebranded Marvell SD8686 with PXA SDHC bus drivers.  There's already a
driver for the SD8686 which probably works with this part, although we
may need to add the vendor ID for the APM6270.

For the SDIO bus drivers, we'd need to see if the existing upstream bus
drivers already work for this hardware, and if not, the ones from that
package would then need to be ported.  I don't see a PXA270m SDIO driver
in the upstream tree, but there's a lot of support for the S3C2440
including an MMC driver which is a prerequisite for SD support.  I'm not
sure if the s3cmci MMC driver supports SDIO though.
