No, but they didn't make any difference. I tried with all 3 applied, then backed 
them out one by one. That was the state when I posted before.

Here are the dumps with all 3 patches applied:

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.26-Linus-05752-g93ded9b-dirty #53
---------------------------------------------
b43/1997 is trying to acquire lock:
  (_xmit_IEEE80211#2){-...}, at: [<ffffffffa028f322>] 
ieee80211_scan_completed+0x130/0x2e1 [mac80211]

but task is already holding lock:
  (_xmit_IEEE80211#2){-...}, at: [<ffffffffa028f322>] 
ieee80211_scan_completed+0x130/0x2e1 [mac80211]

other info that might help us debug this:
3 locks held by b43/1997:
  #0:  ((name)){--..}, at: [<ffffffff80245185>] run_workqueue+0xa7/0x1f2
