Looks good to me.

I think the fail_attr should be defined for each mmc_host like make_it_fail
in struct mmc_host and debugfs entries should also be created in a
subdirectory of mmc host debugfs.

And I know that init_fault_attr_dentries() can only create a
subdirectory in debugfs root directory.  But I have a patch which
support for creating it in arbitrary directory.  Could you take a look
at this? (Note that this patch is based on mmotm and not yet tested)
