Howdy,
I currently rmmod iwlwifi before putting my laptop to sleep and reload it
when coming back. Arguably, it's maybe not needed, but from time to time
I hit this memory allocation failure below:
My kenrel config options are here
http://marc.merlins.org/tmp/config-3.5.2-amd64-preempt-noide-20120731
and this happens on an Lenovo T530.

I had to port the patch back to my 3.5.3 kernel and since then I haven't
hany firmware loading failures, thanks much.
I'll attach the patch below in case it helps others.
Thanks for your help,

Thanks for that, I added the include.
