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.
