This doesn't have the flexibility to return "busy".  For example,
sdhci_send_command() will potentially wait quite some time if the inhibit
bits are set.  That is not good in interrupt context.  It would be better to
return immediately in that case and have the caller fall back to a
non-atomic context.  Thoughts?
