I see this too. I bisected it to:
33fe2fb8df01 ARM: mmc: bcm283x: Remove get_timer_us() from mmc driver

Marek, this is the second symptom I bisected to this patch. Something
seems quite wrong with it. Did changing to the other timer function
change the timer tick rate or something? FWIW, "sleep 10" at the shell
prompt appears to run for the correct amount of time, so I guess it's
not that.
