A patch to stable 2.6.32.10 missed a hunk of code (I verified this agains
the original patch, too) which causes the iwlagn driver (at least) to
emmit a huge number of warning messages.
This patch is picked from patchworks but discussions look good to see this
in stable soon, but given the impact we should apply it before.
Has been proven to work in a test kernel.

("iwlwifi: sanity check before counting number of tfds can be free")
we forget one hunk, what make lot of messages "free more than
tfds_in_queue" show up in dmesg.
