Mount SD card on Lenovo W530

Hi all, I have a Lenovo W530 and am struggling to get the built-in SD card reader working on it. Haven't been able to find answers in the other threads I've read on the topic. Here's what I know:

Cards seem to be detected at the most basic level. When I insert and then remove a card, `dmesg` shows messages like:

[157545.806611] mmc0: new high speed SDXC card at address 0007
[157810.294808] mmc0: card 0007 removed

Beyond that, nothing seems to happen with the card inserted. I'm not able to find anything mountable.

The card reader is recognized by `lshw` as:

        *-pci:1
             description: PCI bridge
             product: 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1

                resources: irq:16 memory:f3101000-f31010ff

There's no `mmc` entry of any kind in /dev, or any new `sd*` device appearing.

`lsblk` shows no difference whether the card is inserted or removed (shows my SSD and what I think is the DVD reader):

NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sda      8:0    0 931.5G  0 disk 
└─sda1   8:1    0 931.5G  0 part /
sr0     11:0    1  1024M  0 rom

`fdisk -l` shows just my SSD:

$ sudo fdisk -l

There's nothing interesting in `lsusb` or `lspci` (the Ricoh card reader does show up in the latter):

`lsmod` shows the following:

$ lsmod | grep sd

At this point, I'm stuck. Is there something I need to install to get the card reader working? It feels like a block device ought to be detected, but my knowledge runs out here. Thanks!

How about `pacman -Q linux` and `uname -a`?
