I printk-ed rs.rs_status, it's 0, so AR5K_RXERR_PHY is unset.  

I think the jumbo flag is supposed to indicate the packet is larger
than the buffer size.  However, we have a buffer size of 2500 so that
shouldn't happen for standard frames.  I did check into whether there
was a corruption issue, like skb_tailroom was smaller than a full 
packet because of an skb reuse bug or something like that.  But no, 
all were > 2500 bytes (incl roundup for cache line).  That's when 
I did the unmap and a hexdump and saw they have no 802.11 headers or
anything of the sort.  Felix suggested we just drop the warning.

Cool, let me know.  Yeah, configure_interface() doesn't do anything
with the bssid mask (other than reloading it inside hw_set_associd);
in fact it's all-1s forever right now, it seems.
