+This is a port of:
+commit SHA1 6158425be398936af1fd04451f78ffad01529cb0
+for 2.6.27
+
+All 802.11n PCI devices (Cardbus, PCI, mini-PCI) require
+serialization of IO when on non-uniprocessor systems. PCI
+express devices not not require this.
+
+This should fix our only last standing open ath9k kernel.org
