yeah, please try

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.21-rc4/2.6.21-rc4-mm1/hot-fixes/revert-driver-core-handles-kobject_uevent-failure-while-device_add.patch

That might make things happier, but I don't see why the original patch
would cause an oops. So if
revert-driver-core-handles-kobject_uevent-failure-while-device_add.patch
fixes the oops then we probably have another bug in there.
