Hm, whyw asn't that ever folded into -HEAD?

The trouble is finding a representation of the ioctl statistics that
is portable enough to use like this.

ath0/mwl0 don't export the same statistics by any means; and the
athstats tool uses a couple of ioctl APIs (one for HAL, one for ath)
to fetch statistics.

FWIW, I'm about to extend the athstats tool and HAL diagnostic API to
include more detailed interrupt statistics. This will help when
diagnosing mis-behaving bus hardware.
