Yeah, the SDIO layer stuff is a pre-requisite. Even for non-ARM. The
Atheros AR6k chips (almost) all use SDIO and our SDIO code just doesn't cut
it.

I'd be much happier (and try porting ath6kl to FreeBSD!) if the SDIO side
of things was better.

Unfortunately I can't touch the wifi part of it. :-(
