In order to avoid potential leaks of kernel memory values, block speculative execution of the instruction stream that could issue reads based on an invalid result of 'ar9170_qmap[queue]'. In this case the value of 'ar9170_qmap[queue]' is immediately reused as an index to the 'ar->edcf' array. Based on an original patch by Elena Reshetova.
