Hello Ulf / Jens and everyone,

Guys, what do you think about this change?

Currently it's not allowed to compile MMC_BLOCK as a loadable kernel
module if TEGRA_PARTITION is enabled because it depends on MMC_BLOCK
presence. I'm curious if this situation could be improved by moving
mmc_bdev_to_card() to linux/mmc/blkdev.h and then:

1. Moving all private mmc/core/block.c structs to the public
linux/mmc/blkdev.h.

2. Or adding a "private opaque" pointer to a struct block_device and
setting it to md->queue.card, for example.

3. I see that struct block_device already has some bd_private field, but
I'm not sure whether it could be used for what I'm trying to achieve.
Actually I don't see where bd_private is used in kernel at all.

I'd like get yours feedback, thanks in advance.
