Setting debug.acpi.disable=hostres did not work.  Strange thing is
that ath0 is now at mem 0x88000000-0x8800ffff for both working
and non-working kernels (with and without debug.acpi.disable=hostres).
ath0 still doesn't attach, but it seems funny that the memory
address changes.  These are all soft reboots, not hard reboots,
after a working kernel.

All the information you requested is here:

   http://people.freebsd.org/~deischen/ath/

There are verbose boots and devinfo -u/-r output for the
working kernel and the non-working kernel (with and without
debug.acpi.disable=hostres).

Anything else you'd like me to try?
