I guess you need to fix the check at the start of the request function
as well.

A matter of taste perhaps, but I think it would make more sense to not
add them in the first place than to add and then remove them.

Card detection interrupts should be handled separately anyway as they
should not be enabled before mmc_add_host() returns and should be
disabled before calling mmc_remove_host(). Patch welcome. ;)
