How do you access MMC driver set_ios?

The real problem turned out to be that some SD cards fail multiblock
write with the PXA270 MMC driver. In our sample, the failing cards were
all Sandisk 2GB marked "MADE IN CHINA". Sandisk verified that they were
genuine (i.e. not counterfeit). Host platform was Gumstix Verdex Pro.
Individual units vary in their failures, so it is likely a signal issue
on the boards; it could also likely be an opportunity to make the PXA
drivers more robust.

Good luck, MMC Driver Maintainers.
