It's getting ever more strange. I only have problems with concurrent
access to the flash and SD-card when I do file system based accessed
to the SD card.
A 'dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/dev/null' while excessively using the flash
works well, while mounting the SD card and doing an 'ls' produces
immediate BCH DMA timeouts.

Perhaps someone can make anything out of that.
