Adrian, I think it makes sense to apply this patch, even if there is
very minor negative impact throughput wise.

To me, it doesn't seems like MMC/SD/SDIO has good justification for
using tasklets, besides from the legacy point of view, of course.
Instead, I think we should try to move all mmc hosts into using
threaded IRQs.

So, what do you think? Can you overlook the throughput drop and
instead we can try to recover this on top with other optimizations?

Kind regards
Uffe
