Rank 9: minstrel_get_rate (warning)

I believe this is fixed by http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/5/269, now
in pre-2.6.31.  Hmm, odd though, we should be seeing reports from
other wireless drivers since it's a general memory corruption
unrelated to ath5k (but not all use the mac80211 rate controllers).

well.. out of the 534 reports or so that I have by now... 525 have
ath5k loaded.....

it's not 100% but it'd pretty close.

Indeed, I can replicate this now, looks like some kind of race condition
since it's looking for a rate in the 5 ghz band while I'm communicating
with a 2 ghz AP (during a scan perhaps?).  The warning is harmless but
there is some underlying issue to be fixed.
