I'd suggets copying sd.c and add the command translations the cpqfc driver
has been doing to sd_init_command.  After that works post the preliminary
results to this list ;-)

Later lots of unessecary bits can be removed from the driver and the
init_command can be rewritten to directly issue the proper commands instead
of crafting SPC command and then translating them.
