Looks like the skb was reused right after it was freed by the mac80211
workqueue so that seems inline with the idea that the list is getting
corrupted somehow. On top of the last patch, would you mind running
this overnight? It'll dump a lot of debug info, I'm really only
interested in the last 5 invocations of ath5k_debug_printrxbuffs or so
before the poison. During a scan you'll see lots of rx_start/rx_stop.
Hmm, I can think of another scenario that could break: if the hw updated
rxdp before DMA completes, then we should check next packet's status too
in case 'current' packet's status is clobbered.
Someone suggested dumping the self links and deal with RXEOL, maybe a
good idea :)
