A few reboots later...
As you said, during my bisecting, at a certain moment I needed your 
patch (I booted, got a problem, patched the tree with your patch, 
rebooted, it worked).

Then, git says:
f078727b250c2653fc9a564f15547c17ebac3f99 is first bad commit

    [SCSI] remove scsi_req_map_sg
   
    No one uses scsi_execute_async with data transfer now. We can remove
    scsi_req_map_sg.
   
    Only scsi_eh_lock_door uses scsi_execute_async. scsi_eh_lock_door
    doesn't handle sense and the callback. So we can remove
    scsi_io_context too.

At this moment, the reason for the crash is different then in v2.6.30
I noted the following (I hope to have written the most important stuff).
driver 'sd' needs update
mesh: lost arbitration 
sd 0:0:0:0 sda read CAPACITY failed
sd ...
sd 0:0:0:0 sdb read CAPACITY failed

If you want more input ... please let me know.
