It looks more or less good to go. I have some small notes, and you
probably need to poke some scatterlist folks to okay those changes
(should probably be a separate patch).

This is clearer than what you had before, but I still think you should
consider using the kernel functions directly.

Why RCU:s? This smells of premature optimisation.

I couldn't find VERBOSE_DEBUG defined somewhere. For ease of use with
future testers, you should connect it to some Kconfig option.

Free/restore interrupt?

It's a matter of taste really. Many drivers have their defines in the
driver. Personally I think it is nice to have everything in pci_ids.h,
but it's up to you really.

As this code is just useless, please clean it out before you submit the
driver.

Since you can't change the voltage, this seems wrong. My guess is that
the MMC_VDD_34_35 define should go.

Most drivers handle this by sticking their head in the sand, but the
proper way is probably to disable the card insertions interrupt before
mmc_remove_host().

(and there should be no other unsolicited interrupts)
