Hans,

I've also booted the kernel with your sunxi-mmc patch on CubieTruck and
BananaPi, since my initial testing with BananaPro. Even if it doesn't
hang on boot, while accessing SDCARD, sooner or later....

I rebuilt with original sigint patch (
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/linux-sunxi/v6Ktt8lAnw0) where
the check is only being performed for sdio access from wifi driver
rather than everything that goes through sunxi mmc driver.... No
issues. Have put many Gigs of data through the wifi connection on the
BananaPro.

Sorry, don't have any more time to look into this and as you say,
probably a non-issue, if neither is the actual "fix" that will make it
upstream anyway.
