The basic transaction on the MultiMediaCard/SD/SD I/O bus is the command/response
transaction. These types of bus transaction transfer their information directly within the
command or response structure. In addition, some operations have a data token.
Data transfers to/from SD/SDIO memory cards are done in data blocks. Data transfers
to/from MMC are done data blocks or streams. Data transfers to/from the CE-ATA Devices
are done in data blocks.
