Paul McKenney has a patch that solves this oops. You can find it here:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=131537669921538&w=2

We had discussed getting this into 3.1, but apparently that didn't
happen (yet?). I thought it had been sent upstream with my tested-by,
but I don't see it included in Linus' tree.
