On most (all?) Tegra devices, mmc1 is SD and mmc0 is eMMC. We prefer to
try to boot from SD first so that the user can just plug in an SD card
to boot from it if they want, but otherwise boot from eMMC (just like
floppy vs HDD on a PC) without having to muck with boot order manually.

Well, that and I almost exclusively boot from SD, so it's marginally
faster and less noisy:-)
