04566831a7 mmc: Aggressive clock gating framework
This patch modifies the MMC core code to optionally call the set_ios()
operation on the driver with the clock frequency set to 0 (gate) after
a grace period of at least 8 MCLK cycles, then restore it (ungate)
before any new request. This gives the driver the option to shut down
the MCI clock to the MMC/SD card when the clock frequency is 0, i.e.
the core has stated that the MCI clock does not need to be generated.

It is inspired by existing clock gating code found in the OMAP and
Atmel drivers and brings this up to the host abstraction.  Gating is
performed before and after any MMC request.

This patchset implements this for the MMCI/PL180 MMC/SD host controller,
but it should be simple to switch OMAP/Atmel over to using this instead.

mmc_set_{gated,ungated}() add variable protection to the state holders
for the clock gating code.  This is particularly important when ordinary
.set_ios() calls would race with the .set_ios() call resulting from a
delayed gate operation.

bd68e0838f mmc: add module parameter to set whether cards are assumed removable
Some people run general-purpose distribution kernels on netbooks with
a card that is physically non-removable or logically non-removable
(e.g. used for /home) and cannot be cleanly unmounted during suspend.
Add a module parameter to set whether cards are assumed removable or
non-removable, with the default set by CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME.

In general, it is not possible to tell whether a card present in an MMC
slot after resume is the same that was there before suspend.  So there are
two possible behaviours, each of which will cause data loss in some cases:

CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME=n (default): Cards are assumed to be removed
during suspend.  Any filesystem on them must be unmounted before suspend;
otherwise, buffered writes will be lost.

CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME=y: Cards are assumed to remain present during
suspend.  They must not be swapped during suspend; otherwise, buffered
writes will be flushed to the wrong card.

Currently the choice is made at compile time and this allows that to be
overridden at module load time.

790864dcc2 mmc: Use menuconfig objects
Change Kconfig objects from "menu, config" into "menuconfig" so
that the user can disable the whole feature without having to
enter the menu first.

6abaa0c9fe mmc: support unsafe resume of cards
Since many have the system root on MMC/SD we must allow some foot
shooting when it comes to resume.

We cannot detect if a card is removed and reinserted during suspend,
so the safe approach would be to assume it was, avoiding potential
filesystem corruption. This will of course not work if you cannot
release the card before suspend.

This commit adds a compile time option that makes the MMC layer
assume the card wasn't touched if it is redetected upon resume.
