Hand on resume if sd/mmc card was removed while system was suspended/hibernated

Hi,

This is what I get, if I remove mmc card while system is suspended:

It seems that del_disk can't be called from .resume methods.
It sleeps for threads that are frozen at that point.

Since I wrote my own driver (for xD cards) I have seen same problem.

I solved this (it is just very nice that way anyway) by a freezable 
kernel thread that polls for card state changes, 
and thus calls del_disk (indirectly) after system got fully resumed.

What do you think?
