I see what's going on, though your patch is reversed ... :)

But, rather than just logging a KERN_CRIT error, the better fix would
be to just do what ehci-hcd.c::unlink_async() does and stick that QH
at the end of the reclaim queue, in QH_STATE_UNLINK_WAIT.  In fact,
can you try just calling unlink_async() there, to see if that behaves?
Instead of start_unlink_async().  If that works, I'd like to see if
this could still get into 2.6.11 ...

No kidding.  Maybe you can whip up a patch to make the excess verbiage
become optional; I suspect a kernel command line parameter wouldn't
be too offensive.

What I end up doing in such cases is all too often either hooking up
a serial console (may not always be practical!), or switching to an
fb console with LOTS of lines (ditto), or just hacking traps.c much
like you must have done.
