So, thanks to the generosity of a FreeBSD user I now have a laptop
on loan with one of the Realtek SD card reader controllers.

I started working on porting the NetBSD code (basically the same as
the OpenBSD code), but the FreeBSD bus and mmc code is radically
different, so it will take quite a while to get a working driver.

So far only the pci bus probe code works, but that's a start.
