Yes, that shouldn't be in sd.c.  We should be able to create a number
of SD cards and "insert" and "eject" them from the slots using monitor
commands or a chipselect pin driven by guest.

I partially did this in svn.openmoko.org qemu where we have SDIO cards
using the same slots as SD.

The root misconception is of whether BlockDriverState represents the
drive or the media.  In the cd-rom implementation the whole state
machine is in the drive and the media is just a piece of plastic.  In
MMC/SD the removable card has the entire state machine in it and using
bdrv_is_inserted() makes no sense anymore.
