Hi, I still didn't tried to revert this change to check if it the 
reason. But I realized that I only got this issue when I'm on wireless. 
And I can 100% reproduce this. When using ethernet (re) - system shuts 
down just fine. When using wireless (ath) - it hanging forever.

So it seems like ath deadlock or something (cc:ing Adrian). Would you 
please provide me with instructions on how to debug this, or what info 
should I provide to you to realize this. Thanks.

     vendor     = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
     device     = 'AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)'
     class      = network

My -current is from Sat Jul 14 12:15:20 2012 (svn #238449).
