With this patch installed, and the DEBUG configuration set as above, I get a kernel panic on an x86_64 SMP system. The reason for the panic scrolled off the screen, but the complete stack dump (hand copied) is as follows:

lock_acquire+0x85/0x31
bcm43xx_mac80211: bcm43xx_debugfs_log_txstat+0x5a/099
_spin_lock+0x25/0x31

Ignore the noise above. I had failed to get the right patch. The crash confirms the problem _without_ the patch. Getting it in properly fixes the problem
