I tried the patch with reading from the raw mmc block device to
/dev/null with dd (with bs 32k and 1M).  I cannot see any
difference in interrupt count from /proc/interrupts or in read
speed. At least the patch works. Cpu was 34340es3.

I also trid without the patch just disabling the Buffer
Read/write Ready bits from INT_EN_MASK which is then written to
both MMCHS_IE and MMCHS_ISE.  Still no change in read speed nor
mmc irq count.
