You could either try a more recent kernel, the current stable kernel upstream being 4.9.8. Chances are this oops may have been fixed there. Otherwise, you could report this oops to the Gentoo kernel devs with more info on where the oops happened supplied. See the oops-tracing.txt doc available here, https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/plain/Documentation/oops-tracing.txt?id=refs/tags/v4.9.8, for details on how to do this. Hope this helps.
