Setting max_blk_count to 1 here was causing the mmc block layer to always use the MMC_READ_SINGLE_BLOCK command here, which the driver does not DMA-accelerate. Drop the max_blk_ settings here. The mmc host defaults suffice, along with the max_segs and max_seg_size settings, which I have now documented in more detail. Now each MMC command reads 4 512-byte blocks, using DMA instead of PIO. On my SD card, this increases read performance (measured with dd) from 167kb/sec to 4.6mb/sec.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
