Comment (by mentor):
Right, I've had a look at the oops, and the code and question. Given that
the oops occurs in the HAL, the callee references in the traces, and the
type of the oops, I think it is quite likely that this is being caused by
address translations, and the call at ath/if_ath.c:1372 to
ath_hal_rxprocdesc().
Sadly this is way beyond my kernel-fu at the moment, so I haven't got a
chance of fixing it. This should probably be bumped to Sam (Leffler).
