We ran into this problem using 2 SD cards and assumed that it was
directly related to that.  This morning I decided to try and reproduce
this problem using only a single SD card, and I was indeed able to do
so.

Thanks for the patch - it does appear to fix the problem for a single
SD, but when using 2 SD cards I still ran into the issue.  However,
replacing your irq_save/restore calls with a spinlock seems to fix the
issue for multiple SD cards.  Is using a spinlock an appropriate way to
fix this or is there some other way that would be preferable?

Regards,
Morgan
