Turns out ath5k and ath9k can share the same helper to allocates RX skbs. We allocate skbs aligned to the cache line size. This requirement seems to have come from AR5210; when this was not done it seems sometimes we'd get bogus data. I'm also told it may have been a performance enhancement consideration. In the end I can't be sure we can remove this on new hardware so just keep this and start sharing it through ath.ko. Make ath9k start using this, ath5k is next. Signed-off-by: Luis R.
