I ran into some problems while adding the functionality to hw-detect
and I cannot look into it in the near future.  In the meantime, I'll
therefore add MMC modules to the initrd on Kirkwood.  The argument
about initrd bloat doesn't apply to this sub-arch since all currently
supported machines have 512 MB of RAM.  However, I note your and
Otavio's opinion and will look into a different solution later.
