As of r250406, I get a kernel panic whenever I bring wlan0 up because
the assertion in if_ath.c:4317 gets triggered.

I have reverted r250391 for now, removed sys/contrib/sys/dev/ath now
that sys/contrib/dev/ath is in place and commented out the "ath0:
ath_edma_recv_proc_queue: handled npkts 0" messages that Joshua also
mentioned. Everything seems to be working fine (ie. connecting to my
crappy WPA2 router).
