Applying your one-line patch adding RF_SHAREABLE (sorry for the delay
as buildworld took ~2.5 days and buildkernel took about half a day on
this machine) does seem to have at least gotten past the initial
issue.  The pcib1 now looks like it's properly sharing the interrupt
and ath0 at least identifies.  Relevant excerpts from dmesg:

# dmesg | grep -e ath0 -e pcib1
pcib1: <ACPI PCI-PCI bridge> irq 17 at device 28.0 on pci0
pcib1: [GIANT-LOCKED]
pci1: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib1
ath0: <Atheros 9280> mem 0xd8000000-0xd800ffff irq 17 at device 0.0
on pci2 ath0: [HT] enabling HT modes
ath0: [HT] 1 stream STBC receive enabled
ath0: [HT] 1 stream STBC transmit enabled
ath0: [HT] 2 RX streams; 2 TX streams
ath0: AR9280 mac 128.2 RF5133 phy 13.0
ath0: 2GHz radio: 0x0000; 5GHz radio: 0x00c0

This was performed against HEAD which, at the time, was r333254.

I'll poke at it more thoroughly in the morning, but I wanted to let
you know that it seems to be working thus far.

If you know of any particular ways in which I should stress it (to
see if IRQ 17 on pcib1 really *wasn't* supposed to be sharable), I'd
be glad to abuse it a bit.

Many thanks!
