That's another reason why we don't want this code to be all over the
place.

If you could generalize the code sufficiently, it could be an inline
function in pci.h or some other GPL licensed header.

If we need to add GPL code to ath5k, it could go to a separate file.
But if that separation becomes inconvenient, we could drop BSD
compatibility from ath5k.  I don't see any benefit from dual licensing,
unless some existing ath5k contributors are BSD developers who would
stop working on the code in case of relicensing, but I don't think it's
the case.
