Note that the debug-IRQ feature is now also available to you.
It enables you to panic, dump SHM, dump regs and print a marker message
from within the firmware. See my openfw repository and handle_irq_ucode_debug() in b43 for details.
Note that the debug-IRQ is synchronous, so it will disturb MAC functionality.
But you only want to use it for debugging anyway. And for debugging it is _very_ convenient
to be able to issue printks and memory dumps from within the firmware code.
