Problem with compat-wireless build

[Larry Finger]

In the link at
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7940247&postcount=92, a problem
with building compat-wireless on 2.6.28 is described. A posting on the
openSUSE forum states that this started with the 06-09-2009 release.
>From the error message, it is due to the threaded interrupt code in
b43. That may be difficult to fix as this change exposed a
long-standing kernel bug that also needed to be fixed.

I already posted a compat layer for this to the list. Mcgrof is going
to merge that after all my other patches hit compat-wireless.
