Hi Russel, what to you think of doing it this way instead:

		/*
		 * SDIO especially may want to send something that is
		 * not divisible by 4 (as opposed to card sectors
		 * etc), and the FIFO only accept full 32-bit reads.
		 */
		if (count < 4) {
			unsigned char buf[4];
			readsl(base + MMCIFIFO, buf, 1);
			memcpy(ptr, buf, count);
		}
		else
			readsl(base + MMCIFIFO, ptr, count >> 2);

This makes sure we only access the FIFO in a 32 bit way, and the only 
overhead for the "standard" case (count >= 4) is the "if" clause. I have 
verified this to work with our WLAN driver.

Best Regards
