I think it's the other way round. What's the justification for leaving
them out, if they are in the standard? Since we're touching the
commands for other standards, it's better to be complete for MMC as well.

At least one of them (MECHANISM STATUS) is implemented in both QEMU and
Bochs, so someone is using it. If that someone were run virtualized,
with the host /dev/sr0 passed directly to the guest rather than
emulated, it would break.
