Do you see a Lock Order Reversal -- in particular, one involving a NIC,
such as wi0?  I've been seeing that on kernels built on 20 Nov and
since; from other messages about it, I gather it's a problem with the
NIC driver.  Unfortunately, I'm not clueful enough in the code to
understand what locks need to be where, but I'm certainly willing & able
to test patches.

Peace,
