Should I be seeing any "ath0: hardware error..." messages after these 
patches have been reverse applied?  I'm still seeing them, sometimes a lot 
of them.  I can see the CPU "% interrupt" in top shoot up when they're 
spewing to about 60% (with hw.ath0.debug=0x80000000 commented out in 
sysctl.conf).  I feel like my build broke somehow, though I deleted the 
build directory and unpacked the source fresh before "patch -R".
