should i expect my SD card slot to be supported by a USB driver?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  in order to goof around and experiment with MMC/SD drivers on my
laptop running an updated 10.10, i popped in an SD card, then just did
a "diff" between the output of lsmod both before and after.  i was
expecting to see the load of some module with a name containing maybe
"sd" or "mmc".  instead, here's the output of diff:

2c2,6
< usb_storage            49778  0
---
> nls_iso8859_1           4665  1
> nls_cp437               6383  1
> vfat                   10835  1
> fat                    55328  1 vfat
> usb_storage            49778  1


so this means my SD card slot is being supported by the usb_storage
driver?  i wasn't expecting that.  or am i just confused about
something?
