This'll be a post-2.6.33 regression.

This:

Rafael, this is fallout from 452aa6999e6703ffbddd7f6ea124d3968915f3e3
("mm/pm: force GFP_NOIO during suspend/hibernation and resume"). 
Wireless was previously doing this stupidly-large allocation with
GFP_KERNEL.  But I think the above change is what flipped it to
__GFP_WAIT, which caused the page allocator to go into lame-and-sucky
mode, so the allocation failed.

(btw, that was a bug - 452aa6999e6703ffbddd7f6ea124d3968915f3e3 should
have cleared the __GFP_WAIT bit too).
