I found this discussed over at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727990 (comments #12 and
#13):

#12: "The rts_pstor driver has been removed from staging in kernel 3.8
and another driver (rtsx_pci) is able to handle this hardware. I've
tested it with the recent kernel-3.8.1-201.fc18.x86_64 and it works."

#13:  "Excellent find.  I believe the driver is actually called
rtsx_pci_ms (the rtsx_pci driver is something it depends on.)  This is
available in all current kernels."

These "rtsx" modules exist in Ubuntu.  However, the Barossa card never
associates with them, so the problem remains.

P.S.:  I have a HP dv4-2164us netbook with this card, and this issue is
one reason why I haven't upgraded from 12.04.

Title:
  Realtek Barossa PCI Express SD card reader no longer working,
  rts_pstor module missing

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The card reader is recognized (eg. via lspci), but the system doesn't
  detect nor mount any SD card.

  It was working fine with the previous Quantal kernel, using the
  rts_pstor module. I remember reading about this module having been
  removed from upstream kernel source since version 3.8.0.

  I have tried loading the following modules manually with modprobe, but
  none of them seem to work: rtsx_pci_sdmmc, rts5139, rtsx_pci

  Another thing I've tried is to compile the rts_pstor module from a
  source tarball downloaded from Realtek's website. However, the module
  fails to compile, I believe it's because the source hasn't been
  updated since 2012 and so assumes an older kernel version. I have
  included the original tarball from Realtek as an attachment.
