thanks Ian for the patch, i'll test it.
Note that it was whitespace damaged, find below a tidied up version of
the patch that i've applied to tip/out-of-tree.

This patch may be needed to fix error handling in the hw_sim code, but
I get the crash even with that code disabled. I'm currently bisecting
to find the culprit.
ok. I just reactivated CONFIG_MAC80211_HWSIM, applied Ian's fix and the
crash went away:
calling iwl4965_init+0x0/0x6c

So at least as far as the init_mac80211_hwsim() deinit crash goes:

Yes, I'm chasing a distinct bug. The header for mine is

With an invalid opcode, mine is likely due to stack corruption.
