Ok.

If we use device_attach(), the mmc_block driver is not informed about
the card's unlocking. I did some tests, using device_attach() instead of
those mmc functions and seems that the mmc_block driver tries to use a
invalid device reference. What do you suggest on this case?

Sorry, but this series of patches only support one mmc host. I'll update
the TODO section of the summary e-mail.
