I have encountered an interrupt storm during the eMMC chip probing (and the chip finally didn't get detected). It turned out that U-Boot left the DMAC interrupts enabled while the Linux driver didn't use those. The SDHI driver's interrupt handler somehow assumes that, even if an SDIO interrupt didn't happen, it should return IRQ_HANDLED. I think that if none of the enabled interrupts happened and got handled, we should return IRQ_NONE -- that way the kernel IRQ code recoginizes a spurious interrupt and masks it off pretty quickly...
