Re: mvsdio: unhandled interrupt, mmc writes queuing up

Hi Jason,

Will try this out this evening when I'm back home (and have some time

Note that the write-back stalls seem to be nilfs2 specific (I'm getting
them on usb-storage as well while ext4 filesystem on usb-storage
does not present the stall issue).
