I'm presently having git disasters with the wireless tree and am unable to
include it in the -mm lineup so the hunk against
drivers/net/wireless/mac80211/bcm43xx/bcm43xx_main.c doesn't apply here.

I stuck that change into a second patch and commented it out.  I will
hopefully remember to bring that patch back when git-wireless gets sorted
out.
