You are bumping total vdevs up to 16 with that patch...have you
actually tested that many?  The stock firmware has quite a bit of
deficiencies in the concurrency handling, at least for stations.

For what it's worth, my firmware will only work on stock kernels
because I ignore the request for 16 vdevs in the firmware and knock
it down to 8 to match the kernel driver (before your change below).

Thanks,
Ben
