mmc: core: Add mmc CMD+ACMD passthrough ioctl
Allows appropriately-privileged applications to send CMD (normal) and ACMD
(application-specific; preceded with CMD55) commands to cards/devices on
the mmc bus. This is primarily useful for enabling the security
functionality built in to every SD card.
It can also be used as a generic passthrough (e.g. to enable virtual
machines to control mmc bus devices directly). However, this use case has
not been tested rigorously. Generic passthrough testing was only conducted
for a few non-security opcodes to prove the feasibility of the passthrough.
Since any opcode can be sent using this passthrough, it is very possible to
render the card/device unusable. Applications that use this ioctl must
have CAP_SYS_RAWIO.
Security commands tested on TI PCIxx12 (SDHCI), Sigma Designs SMP8652 SoC,
TI OMAP3621/OMAP3630 SoC, Samsung S5PC110 SoC, Qualcomm MSM7200A SoC.
