2.2.10-ac8 was an experimental version from
Alan Cox that has "cache poisoning" in it. This
tripped up various bits of the kernel that used
memory _after_ it was freed.
The oops you have reported is one such case in
scsi.c scsi_unregister_device(). Kurt Garloff
found it and posted a patch for it on linux-scsi.
It will soon be fixed.
