This particular one could still happen on UP, provided interrupts were
enabled in ath5k_rx_start (I don't think that's very likely, though.  
I tried warning on that case and didn't hit it).

None.  Perhaps it's wishful thinking but a function trace for the few
minutes prior to the poison would be useful.  A good replicator might
be to run a sequence of automatic suspend/resume with pm_test, in 
parallel with iwlist wlan0 scan (as root, so scans are actually 
performed), in parallel with iperf or ping.  I didn't personally have
luck with that workload, though.
