Please cc me.

Well, yes.  I also suggest:
	- don't use host->lock spin lock at all
	- claim the host in the caller not in
	mmc_start_bkops()

But the main issues are design issues not implementation.
i.e.
	- always run bkops at level 3 before doing any
	other requests - that requirement should probably
	be implemented in core rather than the block driver
	- do not release the host while bkops are running

And a new one:
	- how do you know that trim/discard/sanitize will not
	result in a need for bkops?
