Subject: [Regression] rtlwifi boot failure with 3.17

I have a boot failure (consistent) since about 3.17-rc7, which I have
bisected to

38506ecefab911785d5e1aa5889f6eeb462e0954 is the first bad commit
commit 38506ecefab911785d5e1aa5889f6eeb462e0954

    rtlwifi: rtl_pci: Start modification for new drivers
    
    Future patches will move the drivers for RTL8192EE and RTL8821AE
    from staging to the regular wireless tree. Here, the necessary features
    are added to the PCI driver. Other files are touched due to changes
    in the various data structs.

The trace (as much of it as I can capture by hand, though I think I've
checked it for typos):

The portions of my config that I think are relevant follow, if the
entire .config is requested I can provide it.

Please let me know if there's more information I can provide or tests
I can perform.
