Pretty, yeah. I'm probably going to solve this bug elsewhere.
Need to think about it.

bcm43xx causes it only imlicitely. Calling ieee80211_stop_queues()
(from outside of the TX path) will result in a deadlock in the
qdisc handler, which will result in a complete system freeze on UP.
So bcm43xx won't show up in the call-trace.
