Question:

Has any testing been done to determine the maximum data throughput to/from 
a MMC device; assuming the MMC device takes zero time to complete tasks?

Put another way - at what level of IOPS does the kernel/driver become the 
bottleneck, instead of the storage device?

Sorry if the question is slightly off forum topic - but it is MMC driver related.  
Worth a shot.

Thx --Bruce

This should depend on specific host controller, hardware and driver.
You can look from another end:

kernel/driver overhead = "Row max TPT of of the MMC device" - 
"lmdd/iozone/tiotest max TPT"

Where the row tpt can be found from card vendor data.
