wow, a week turned into 2 1/2 months :)
sorry for the delay.

There is no problem in the i801 block code.
The bug is in the lm93 driver. 
There is no check for success in lm93_read_block().
Therefore every block transaction is called 5 times (MAX_RETRIES).
What should have been 9 transactions turned into 45.
Rather obvious from the logs (which are still at the link David posted - thanks David).
I'll fix lm93.
