With the SDHC i can only think that it means the ability to have sdio in the futre as well as full speed transfers on the bus (4 bit @ 25Mhz)

There is some more information on:

http://mmc.drzeus.cx/wiki/Linux/Drivers/sdhci

but it is not clear to me if this new driver will allow SD cards with a capacity greater than 1GB to be used easily.

Seems like its an effort to have a "one drive fits all" soultion which is good as it should make things like SDIO eaiser to add, it dosent appear to effect anything to do with the max size card you can insert
