I can confirm that modprobing aes explicitly also results in the stop_machine()
deadlock, so this doesn't appear to be an interaction with ath9k or the
mac80211 subsystem.

Furthermore, if I disable CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_X86_64 (I'm on a Core Duo
platform), aes loads as expected and things work as they should. 

Any ideas? I'm rather disturbed that this regression has still not had a single
reply while -rc4 is so near.
