Yeah, but due to the way ath5k defers frames, there's still a race
condition (queue some packets, flush TX to send out the nullfunc frame,
then RX tasklet runs on unprocessed packets).  I don't think TX flush
would hurt though, then we could probably drop the driver-side code
that tries to do the same.
