How about the stable sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.0.6? That bug report is ancient so I would figure it's been fixed in Linus' tree by now.
Comment 2 Oschtan 2011-12-23 17:22:09 UTC 
I tested it on kernel 2.6.39-r3 and 3.1.0. Check availability to 3.0.6. Maybe it does not cause such an effect
Comment 3 Oschtan 2011-12-23 17:50:26 UTC 
Kernel 3.0.6: same problem. Already tired of checking out. I do not want to check also on 3.1.5

As for the patch from RedHat. They tried to fix the final error when the device hangs completely. But apparently no one noticed that the device is constantly reconnect before. I would agree with the fact that the cause of Reason = 3/Reason = 7 in another place (not in the kernel), but all the recipes the internet did not give the slightest cure the problem. As soon as the remote back from the tree kernel 2.6.36 and challenges as never happened before. The most interesting is that this mistake many times as observed beginning with the release of kernel 2.6.37, as can be easily seen in the search, for example, Google

I understand that repeated testing can be trying. Please take this upstream to http://bugzilla.kernel.org
