[PATCH 5/7] mmc: at91_mci: enable large data blocks

[Nicolas Ferre]

From: Wolfgang Muees <wolfgang.mues@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch is setting some max_ variables for the IO elevator, so the elevator
will put requests for large data blocks to the driver. This is critical for
a) speed
and
b) wear leveling of the flash chip controller: Otherwise the controller will
treat the SD card badly with millions of single 4 KByte write commands. This
will lead to a shorter life time for the SD cards.
