Thanks to the generous donation of an SDHC card by John Gilmore, and
the surprisingly enlightened decision by the SD Card Association to
publish useful specs, I've been able to bash out support for SDHC. The
changes are not too profound:
i) Add a card flag indicating the card uses block level addressing and
check it in the block driver. As we never took advantage of byte-level
addressing, this simply involves skipping the block -> byte
translation when sending commands.
ii) The layout of the CSD is changed - a set of fields are discarded
to make space for a larger C_SIZE. We did not reference any of the
discarded fields except those related to the C_SIZE.
iii) Read and write timeouts are fixed values and not calculated from
CSD values.
iv) Before invoking SEND_APP_OP_COND, we must invoke the new
SEND_IF_COND to inform the card we support SDHC.

Modern SD cards support a clock speed of 50 MHz. Make sure we test for
this capability and do the song and dance required to activate it.
Activating high speed support actually modifies the TRAN_SPEED field
of the CSD. But as the spec says that the cards must report 50 MHz,
we might as well skip re-reading the CSD.

This change adds support for the mmc4 4-bit wide-bus mode.
The mmc4 spec defines 8-bit and 4-bit transfer modes. As we do not support
any 8-bit hardware, this patch only adds support for the 4-bit mode, but
it can easily be built upon when the time comes.
The 4-bit mode is electrically compatible with SD's 4-bit mode but the
procedure for turning it on is different. This patch implements only
the essential parts of the procedure as defined by the spec. Two additional
steps are recommended but not compulsory. I am documenting them here so
that there's a record.
1) A bus-test mechanism is implemented using dedicated mmc commands which allow
for testing the functionality of the data bus at the electrical level. This is
pretty paranoid and they way the commands work is not compatible with the mmc
subsystem (they don't set valid CRC values).
2) MMC v4 cards can indicate they would like to draw more than the default
amount of current in wide-bus modes. We currently will never switch the card
into a higher draw mode. Supposedly, allowing the card to draw more current
will let it perform better, but the specs seem to indicate that the card will
function correctly without the mode change. Empirical testing supports this
interpretation.

This adds support for the high-speed modes defined by mmc v4
(assuming the host controller is up to it). On a TI sdhci controller,
it improves read speed from 1.3MBps to 2.3MBps. The TI controller can
only go up to 24MHz, but everything helps. Another person has taken
this basic patch and used it on a Nokia 770 to get a bigger boost
because that controller can run at 48MHZ.

SD cards extend the protocol by allowing the host to query a card how many
blocks were successfully stored on the medium. This allows us to safely write
chunks of blocks at once.

Defines for the different command classes as defined in the MMC and SD
specifications.
Removes the check for high command classes and instead checks that the
command classes needed are present.
Previous solution killed forward compatibility at no apparent gain.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
