SD card won't power up in OFW

[Mitch Bradley]

OFW tries to support SDHC, but obviously there is something about this 
card that is giving it problems.

I'm rereading the SD spec to see if I can discover something.  If I 
can't find anything by reading, perhaps we could work together on IRC 
(server irc.oftc.net, #olpc-devel) to step through OFW's card prober.
