Being a module loaded from an init script makes it much easier to tweak, as long as the module supports tweaking, which would be my request to Pali (or to you, seeing that you've pulled this off actually .

I'm not sure about binary module sharing etiquette, but here's the one I'm using with 2.6.28.10-cssu1: https://gist.github.com/Maxdamantus/.../omap_hsmmc.ko

Edit: caveat: with this module as-is, if the SD card is removed, you'll have to reboot before using the slot again. It looks like it does state resetting and stuff when the cover is closed, so someone would need to spend some time doing more than a one-line modification to make it work neatly.
