Change 139290 by sam@sam_ebb on 2008/04/03 20:58:31

	Bite the bullet and hold the com lock across driver callbacks
	to close various races and make state machine locking more sane:
	o hold the com lock across the ioctl call to mark the parent
	  device up/down; this mostly causes problems for devices that
	  load firmware in their init routine as the filesystem calls
	  used by firwmare(9) malloc memory with M_WAITOK and we have
	  no way, short of dropping the lock inside the driver, to cope
	  (this is really an issue that needs to be resolved in firmware et al)
	o hold the com lock while locking the vap list to stop all vap's;
	  this is a noop as this routine is currently unused but closes
	  another case of unlocked vap list traversal
	
	While here add an assert to ieee80211_new_state_locked.
