Mark,

MMC is dependent on EDMA-DMA conversion patches from Matt, which he has 
already submitted to the list recently. So MMC support will come along with
EDMA support. DMA-EDMA patches are targeted for v3.8, lets see how it goes.


If you refer to the Matt's repo, you should get all the patches required to 
boot MMC support -
