Hi
Very interesting that our results got completely different. I too made 
block reads from an eeprom but didn't get a single error in 400 kHz, 
no matter how hard I tried...

It's true that the GPIO driver will always be a better choice if 
reliability i crucial, however I'd still like to know why my system 
can run five times faster than yours. Would it be possible for you to 
send me your stress application and a diff of your entire 2.6.23-rc9 
kernel? (if so, send them privately of list). Which compiler version 
do you use?
