ru had a change to fix this but decided not to; can't say why.
Otherwise there is a better way to fix this which I alluded to in
previous mail--use the config-generated #define that is generated for
the "ath_hal" device.  As I said I've not had time to look at that won't
probably for several weeks.  Either way this requirement has been listed
in UPDATING ever since the ath hal source code was imported into the tree.
