Today's systems are quite capable of running 2^32 reads in short time. Some chips may be slow enough to fall off the loop here. This patch is an attempt at debugging a problem we're seeing on the Winbond W39V040C where the standard toggle bit algorithm seems to fail for block erases.
Note: This probably needs a few tweaks before it can be committed.
