4-bit SD Card mode

Hm... I haven't ever heard of nor needed to consider such a thing in any 
of my implementations. The controllers I've encountered all have a "1 
bit/4 bit" mode setting, and as long as you tell the card to go in to 4 
bit mode and set it in the hardware as well, the SD controller handles 
everything for you.

What is the CPU in question?
