Subject: [PATCH RFT] MMC: core/core.c: mmc_rescan detects card change in one run

With this patch, mmc_rescan can detect the removal of an mmc card and
the insertion of (possibly another) card in the same run. This means
that a card change can be detected without having to call
mmc_detect_change multiple times.

This change should generalise the core such that it can be easily used
by hosts which provide a mechanism to detect only the presence of a card
reader cover, which has to be taken off in order to insert a card. Other
hosts ("card detect" or "MMC_CAP_NEEDS_POLL") each receive an event when
a card is removed and when a card is inserted, so it is sufficient for
them if mmc_rescan handles only one event at a time. "Cover detect"
hosts, however, only receive events about the cover status. This means
that between 2 subsequent events, both a card removal and a card
insertion can occur. In this case, the current version of mmc_rescan
would only detect the removal of the previous card but not the insertion
of the new card.

This patch has been tested with the "cover detect" mechanism. If you
can, please test it with "card detect" and/or "polling" card readers.
