Should we try to refuse all new I/O? mmc_hw_reset() only works for eMMC devices with a hooked up reset GPIO -- not SD cards -- and at the moment there's only one system (Intel Medfield) that supplies a GPIO, so that's not a general solution. Maybe we should just merge your patch for now; we'll definitely get at least a pr_err() explaining what's going on, which is an improvement. Next time someone hits this (if anyone has an SD card that exhibits this problem, it'd be very valuable for testing) we can look at going farther, such as immediately setting host->flags |= SDHCI_DEVICE_DEAD.
