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.
