No problem, I was busy with many other projects as well.

I managed to update my Kingston eMMCs with a slighly modified patch to what I submitted. I however didn't bother to submit this, as I saw no chance of getting it applied.
Also I once asked in the mailing list if there is some user-space example of how to use the multi-block feature that is supposed to enable this, but I haven't gotten an answer.

Sounds good to me.
Remotely related:
Do you know that some google people made their own version of mmc-utils for ChromeOS? And the don't seem to give much effort in unification of them? As if the world wouldn't know how hard it can be to re-unite things again, Google should know from their custom kernels they use on Android ... Sigh.
So you can
* git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cjb/mmc-utils.git * git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/mmc-utils
currently.
