Kernel BUG: scheduling while atomic

[Kareem Shehata]

Hey Dan,

As Dave Kroetsch mentioned, we've gotten some very strange results at  
Aeryon using a Unex 8385 CF module on an arm processor.  Specifically,  
setting the kernel tick to 1000 Hz (CONFIG_HZ = 1000) produces a  
"scheduling while atomic" bug when setting the ssid for the second  
time after boot, the messages for which are below.  Also, enabling  
debug messages for libertas (LIBERTAS_DEBUG=y) seems to make any  
filetransfer very slow, around 15 kB/s, whether or not any debug  
message flags are enabled.  Are these known issues, and if not how do  
we go about solving them?

Thanks,

Kareem
