Unfortunately, I suspect that none of the remaining stuff in my master
branch will make 2.6.35 (which is due this evening) especially as I've
put the fixes for the Versatile/Realview/Versatile Express MMC card
detection in there today, and we still don't know what's right for its
GPIO-based card detection.  (The change to fix the status method may
have broken the GPIO-based method.)

So I'm not sending a pull request this evening.  Hopefully people can
work out what's right for the GPIO based card detection while I'm out
tomorrow, and report back so it can be fixed in the evening if
necessary.
