I thought it was concluded that the serial driver had nothing to do with this problem? Quoting from the initial comment above:

   `In fact, it's only "sierra_net.c" that seems to be implicated. For more detailed info, please see: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2135188&p=14#r275`

So you shouldn't have to do anything in particular to build on v3.11. Just leave the v3.11 version of sierra.c as it is. It's fine.

As I couldn't come up with any working solution despite all the tests and debugging John did, I am currently considering posting a proposal to revert the v3.9 -> v3.10 patch that broke this. I assume that will cause regressions for other devices, which probably crash less after v3.10, but it still seems like the best alternative out of the limited options we have.

If nothing else, I hope it will wake up Dan :-)
