I finally managed to capture a failure with debug enabled, I'm
attaching the log.
To recap:
- heavy write loads sometimes result in a timeout
- reads seem unaffected (I read the card multiple times without errors)
- doubling the timeout (as per my first patch) makes the timeout disappear
- windows doesn't suffer from the issue

I've tested two other cards that do not show the problem, but they are
not "high speed":

mmc0: new high speed SD card at address 0002 (troubles)
vs:
mmc0: new SD card at address e624 (OK)
