FWIW according to your dmesg your RPi doesn't use the DMA engine:

[ 5.004609] sdhost-bcm2835 3f202000.sdhost: unable to initialise DMA channel. Falling back to PIO
[ 5.154518] sdhost-bcm2835 3f202000.sdhost: loaded - DMA disabled

For me it's a chicken and egg problem if the DMA driver is build as a kernel module.
