Log:
  [iwn] Don't try to seamlessly recover from a firmware panic; just restart
  the interface.
  
  I know this may be unpopular, but iwn is not yet completely ready for
  a transparent firmware restart.  I have this thing panic my laptop
  reliably because 11n state isn't kept in sync and the TX completion
  path ends up trying to free a null node reference.
