sd_card_disk_init should be creating the disk in the system through 
rtems_disk_create_phys, which takes an IO control handler for the block 
operations. This controller is the one that should be doing your reads 
and writes.

 From [1] :

These primitives (except initialize) can be implemented in a generic 
fashion based upon the supplied block device driver IO control handler. 
*Every block device driver should provide an initialize entry point, 
which registers the appropriate IO control handler.*
