FSL eSDHC controllers can support maximum block size up to 4096
bytes. The MBL (Maximum Block Length) field in the capabilities
register extended by one bit, and bits 13:15 in the block size
register reserved.

Hmm.. I seem to have overlooked this part previously. I guess they've
basically stripped out the DMA boundary stuff and used the bits for
other things?

At this point I'm leaning more towards simply not supporting their
extended block size. After all, is it ever used?

Yes, the last two "DMA boundary" bits are reserved, and the first
one is re-used for blksz of 4096 bytes.

Eh. But well, OK. We can always persuade you later. :-)

I'll get rid of this particular patch, and put some BLOCK_SIZE
magic into the writew accessor (to clean the DMA bits) instead.

Though, I'll prepare another patch to force blksz to 2048, since
eSDHC specifies "3" in the blksz capability bitfield, and that
causes SDHCI core to fall back to the 512 byte blocks.

Not sure, maybe `dd bs=' can use it? A bit lazy to check this
right now, but from the quick tests, enabling/disabling "blksz
of 4096 bytes" doesn't cause any performance change. At least
with the ordinary SD cards.

Ok.

Memory cards will not use this (at least not with the current
standards), as the block layer thinks in 512 byte blocks. Also, the
sector size propagates to user space in a way that causes filesystems
to behave differently, making cards incompatible with all other
operating systems (i.e. if we don't use 512 byte blocks).

So the only scenario where this might be used is SDIO, and I'm not sure
such big blocks are a win there either because of the overhead of
changing block size.
