I didn't get any response for this one either ;) This is only a performance boost so it is less critical. It is very nice to have though since the performance gain is substancial (>100%).
It should not pose any problems with data loss, which was your primary concern. It backs down to single block transfers when an error is detected. This patch has been downloaded almost 500 times and there have been no errors reported that were related directly to the patch. The two errors reported from using this was in the driver and with a buggy card (the same one that needs the power cycle patch). Kconfig default here is 'no' but 'yes' should be considered once it has been tested on some more controllers.
