[PATCH 0/4] More SD / GPS noise reduction

[Russell Sears]

The buzzing that I hear during phone calls has noticeably changed 
character and gotten quieter since the last round of sd fixes went in.

It seems to happen more often before, and used to sound like continuous 
GSM radio buzz.  Now it's just a periodic "click click click" 10-100 
times a second.  Don't know how its changed things for people on the 
other end of the call.  Also, I don't make many phone calls, so I could 
have just gotten lucky recently.

I have a question about reducing the sd card clock.  sd access is done 
without DMA, right?  Doesn't that mean that slow factor 8 increases the 
cpu cost of reading data from SD by 8x?
