Here are some of the results from testing based on your instructions and
patches in IRC earlier today.
First, per your instructions, I removed sg by modifying
/usr/src/sys/conf/files and rebuilding the kernel:
--- files.orig 2011-06-25 16:26:46.000000000 -0500
+++ files 2011-06-25 16:26:58.000000000 -0500

-cam/scsi/scsi_sg.c optional sg
cam/scsi/scsi_targ_bh.c optional targbh
Curiously, with this change, /dev/sg0 was still created and sg0 still
appeared in `camcontrol devlist`, but things were better. hald still
stopped working after the first detach, but was not unkillable and started
working again after it was restarted. And whether or not hald was
restarted, the USB bus no longer wedged and continued to work properly.
Next, leaving the above patch in place, I rebuilt the kernel with the
patch you provided for /usr/src/sys/cam/cam_xpt.c:
--- cam_xpt.c 2011-06-26 00:16:44.000000000 +0200
+++ cam_xpt.c 2011-06-26 00:16:13.000000000 +0200

SLIST_INSERT_HEAD(&sim->ccb_freeq, &free_ccb->ccb_h,
xpt_links.sle);
}
With this change, the USB bus continued to operate as expected while
attaching and detaching a USB flash drive. On start up, hald was not
detecting the attach/detach events, but started working and kept working
after restarting it. In summary, with both of the above changes,
everything worked pretty much correctly.
I know this is still inconclusive, but I wanted to report what I had so
far. After I get some sleep, I'll proceed with trying to get the back
traces inside cam_periph_release_locked that you asked for.
