This patch supports packed write command of eMMC4.5 devices.  Several
writes can be grouped in packed command and all data of the individual
commands can be sent in a single transfer on the bus. Large amounts of
data in one transfer rather than several data of small size are
effective for eMMC write internally.  As a result, packed command help
write throughput be improved.  The following tables show the results
of packed write.
