Ctrl+C should have no effect on this - that seems to imply that there's
some other bug elsewhere.

This is really not acceptable I'm afraid.  While it's common on ARM for
each interrupt to be uniquely allocated to a peripheral, not all SDHCI
platforms have that luxury.

SDHCI is also used on PCI, and on x86 platforms, it's common to have PCI
interrupts shared between (sometimes many) different PCI devices.

For example, on my laptop:

 18:    1089806     286185   IO-APIC-fasteoi   uhci_hcd:usb8, r852, mmc0

the SDHCI interrupt is shared with two other peripherals - one USB
controller and a NAND device.

Disabling the interrupt will adversely impact other peripherals and
cause regressions where the interrupt is shared.

So, I'm afraid I'm going to have to NAK this patch.
