Andrew Atrens, who did the DragonFly port, was nice enough to let me know that 
he had worked around the issue.  By looking at the diffs I came up with this 
patch, which fixes things for me.  There is more to be done wrt locking, but 
that's another story - for now only fixing the obvious problems.

BTW, I am working on the firmware loading proposed by Sam in -arch a while 
back.  My latest version is here:

including these changes to iwi as well as the modified firmware loading.
