Subject: wireless-testing (2.6.36-rc6):  inconsistent {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} -> {SOFTIRQ-ON-W}
 usage.

We saw this on a system that has two ath9k APs, some extra routing tables
and rules to use them, and a user-space 'bridge' that uses packet-sockets.

Aside from a few patches to help virtualize wireless devices (and none directly to ath9k),
this is today's wireless-testing tree.
