I'm not really sure this is worth it -- you found the bug with
kmemleak() after all. Having very specific things for all of this
doesn't really seem worth it.

Either way though, I can't apply the patches since they won't apply. I
realize that you're working on 3.9, but you're going to have to send me
patches I can apply to one of my trees (and right now, not really
mac80211 but mac80211-next)
