I can no longer reproduce the problem with:

commit e73e079bf128d68284efedeba1fbbc18d78610f9
Author: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@...senPartnership.com>
Date:   Wed May 25 15:52:14 2011 -0500

    [SCSI] Fix oops caused by queue refcounting failure

applied. I tested it both with 3.0rc2 (fix included) and v2.6.39.1
(cherry-picked).
