Have you observed this to be different on the ARM variants? I asked a
related question about this earlier:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/101118:
| In MMCI, on variants which use the DATABLOCKEND interrupt, if we cross
| more than one block boundary in the loop inside mmc_pio_read() or
| mmci_pio_write(), when the DATABLOCKEND irq is handled after interrupts
| are enabled in mmci_pio_irq(), won't the block count be incorrect
| because we would consider that only one block has been transferred, when
| in fact it has been two? Or can this never happen for some reason?
