	This is with a kernel built with INVARIANTS, WITNESS and DIAGNOSTIC.
	I just plugged in the USB device (a SanDisk CF reader) and got the
	LOR:

usb3: handing over full speed device on port 3 to usb1
uhub3: port 3, device disappeared after reset
usb3: handing over full speed device on port 3 to usb1
uhub3: port 3, device disappeared after reset
umass0: SanDisk Corporation ImageMate CompactFlash USB, rev 1.10/0.09, addr 2
umass0: Get Max Lun not supported (STALLED)
malloc(M_WAITOK) of "1024", forcing M_NOWAIT with the following non-sleepable locks held:
exclusive sleep mutex dont_sleep_in_callout r = 0 (0xc06c90c0) locked @ /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_timeout.c:257

--- trap 0x1, eip = 0, esp = 0xd55e8d7c, ebp = 0 ---

It's pretty clear that umass_cam_rescan should be calling malloc with M_NOWAIT
rather than M_WAITOK (and, of course, handling the potential error return), or
alternatively that the rescan should happen in a sleepable context.
