Yes, I have seen the atmel_mci driver in recent kernels.

But I also have seen the massive amount of debug code in this driver, and the 
fact that DMA is marked "experimental", and that DMA is not available for AT91 
(only for AVR32). So my conclusion was that this driver is not ready for 
production use on AT91. (We *need* DMA because we have some CPU-intensive 
tasks).

I think both drivers will be parallel in the kernel for a while - until the 
atmel_mci driver can replace the at91_mci driver fully.

Ah, OK. Sorry, my fault.
