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 bugzilla bug report: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12110 A port is probably required to older kernels and I can work on that.
