I hit this too on two different cards, without iwlwifi driver. Unlike you,
the only solution that worked for me was restart.
Seems like a bug in i810. It's possible it's triggered by loading iwlwifi
or it may be just a coincidence.
Does restart (I really mean a full reboot, to let BIOS reinitialize the
card) fix the problem with iwlwifi still installed?

The attached patch fixes this problem. Thanks for reporting.
John, can you include this in wireless-dev GIT?
Thanks,

iwlwifi: Fix X can't start after iwl4965 is loaded
The patch fixed X can't start after iwl4965 is loaded. The ucode will
use some wrong DMA address when keep_warm area is not setup correctly
and overwrite the video BIOS area, which made X server fail.
