Well it's not that bad at all.  Glamo SD works by setting up the
transaction to the card, and then Linux goes and does something else
until it gets an interrupt from the Glamo.  Only then it pulls the bulk
data out of Glamo RAM.  So during the interrupt the CPU pulls SD data;
the rest of the time, including while it waits for completion, it can do
the graphics side.
