Problem description:
All the USB memory sticks I have work correctly under 3.11-rc1, except one. This memory stick is the same Corsair Voyager that was involved in bug #11260. On 3.10 the stick works correctly. On 3.11, after insertion, the same stick fails to proceed to the point where partitions are reported, and dmesg shows this:
