eMMC4.5 Context ID
Support MMC-4.5 context ID feature in Linux MMC stack and improve file system (EXT4) to utilize this feature. Following approaches need to be explored,
From delayed allocation,
1. Contiguous blocks from the newly created large files are grouped into a large unit context
2. Contiguous blocks from small files which are newly created are put into a large unit context
(Explore the usage of mballoc on both the above points)
In case, blocks are not contiguous then close the context and reopen.
For blocks which are overwritten, use context 0

[svenkatr 2012-10-17] no assignee now that sdas left. So far there were 2 different designs / patchsets posted for this but both were not accepted in lkml. The version posted by sdas has to be abandoned and it needs to be redesigned, based on the feedback in lkml
[jakub-pavelek 2012-10-17] Putting this on backburner - priority stays Undefined, no work expected.
