Those options work. However, they introduce a delay in the range of hundreds milliseconds and seconds respectively. They delay is not required. If a cards is present, mmc_rescan will return synchronously with card initialized.

prepare_namespace() uses wait_for_device_probe(). The latter assumes that all "known devices" have initialized by the time it returns. MMC is not currently delivering on the assumptions. It will with the patch applied.
