One obvious weakness in the new mmc_init_request() is the possibility
that it might be called before card->bouncesz is set up.  That could
result in bouncing being done but mq_rq->bounce_sg is null.
This might help:

Another unrelated issue with mmc_init_request() is that mmc_exit_request()
is not called if mmc_init_request() fails, which means mmc_init_request()
must free anything it allocates when it fails.
