OK, I've taken your v3 of these patches.  But something that jumped out
at me as a big issue, far bigger than I realized, is just how many
places in the iw_cxgb4 driver do BUG()s.  Unless the official answer is
"This can never happen" (in which case we just need to remove the
conditional and the BUG() behind the conditional, because they can
never happen), someone needs to spend some time making the iw_cxgb4
driver more tolerant of things that it might not like, but which
shouldn't bring the computer to a grinding halt.  In particular, I
think things like if (skb_cloned(skb)) BUG() does not seem appropriate
to me.  Are you really telling me that you can't find a way to
gracefully drop the skb you are working on and simply fail the current
operation instead of BUG()ing?
