I've heard a number of problems with folks trying to use SDcard with Ricoh controllers (such as found on certain newer Toshiba Tecra laptops), as well as lack of quiesce(9e) support, and various other problems.

To address these problems, I've made a bunch of changes, and am looking for code reviewers and testers -- the webrev is an open review.

I've made binaries available to anyone who wants to try these out. To try out the new binaries, just untar the sdcard-20081202.tar.gz file in your / directory. You might need to reboot for them to take effect. (If you know how to modunload the drivers from kernel memory, that will work too, provided that you don't have any SDcard media inserted at the time.)

Please let me know any feedback you might have. Thanks.
