Actually I was able to panic the kernel right away with the 802.11 code, 
just
by joining a multicast group with mtest(8) on the wlan interface.

i.e.

# mtest
j 224.0.0.2 192.168.x.x
-> boom

I believe I've found the symptom, but the root cause I don't fully 
understand.
Sam indicated that the VAP code is using ifma's in some nested way between
the ifnets which comprise the VAP's member interfaces.

A workaround is pending....
