Some may have wondered back then, when I changed sys/dev/ic/ath.c:

----------------------------
revision 1.59
date: 2005/09/13 05:50:29;  author: martin;  state: Exp;  lines: +4 -3
The entity passed to the HAL as a HAL_BUS_HANDLE needs to be an integral
or pointer type. So on sparc64 (and maybe others too?) where
bus_space_handle_t is a struct, pass the address of the bus_space_handle_t
and adjust the register access functions accordingly.

While there, slightly optimize the bus_space_* usage in the register
access functions and macros.
----------------------------

Sam Leffler provided a test HAL object file to and helped me debug issues
back then, so I could get it working. Unfortunately I could not commit the
HAL, waiting for an official release. Last night David Young imported
it, and we are finaly there:

(no network because that test machine is remote and I don't have the WAP keys
with me right now, it worked fine for me before)
