Subject: [MMC Stack] Partition limitation question

Hi,

I had a short question about the limitation of max. 8
partitions in the MMC stack. Before the kernel was
limited to 256 minor numbers, but I believe this is no
longer the case (65536 if I recall correctly). Is
there a way around this 8 partition limitation?

I understand that simply renumbering all minor numbers
is not really a preferred situation as it would
require everyone to recreate their device nodes.

Regards,

Rogier
