The queue->lock could be grabbed from interrupt context,
which could lead to lockdep panic like this:
kernel: ======================================================
kernel: [ INFO: soft-safe -> soft-unsafe lock order detected ]
kernel: 2.6.25-0.95.rc4.fc9 #1
kernel: ------------------------------------------------------
kernel: rt2500pci/1251 [HC0[0]:SC0[1]:HE1:SE0] is trying to acquire:
kernel: (&queue->lock){--..}, at: [<ffffffff88213339>] rt2x00queue_get_entry+0x5a/0x81 [rt2x00lib]

kernel: and this task is already holding:
kernel: (_xmit_IEEE80211){-...}, at: [<ffffffff8122e9a3>] __qdisc_run+0x84/0x1a9
kernel: which would create a new lock dependency:
kernel: (_xmit_IEEE80211){-...} -> (&queue->lock){--..}
kernel:
kernel: but this new dependency connects a soft-irq-safe lock:
kernel: (_xmit_ETHER){-+..}
kernel: ... which became soft-irq-safe at:
kernel: [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff

This can be fixed by using the irqsave/irqrestore versions
during the queue->lock handling.
