I sort of dropped the ball on it.  I guess I need to test it to
see if it actually works.  It may not properly handle reconfiguring
the limits, e.g.  Once I can boot a recent kernel (i915 issues) I'll
give it a spin and see.

Ath5k now uses the same values that my patch would have used in
minstrel, so my patch wouldn't have any effect now, for ath5k.
There still might be other drivers that would benefit from having
the change in the rate controller.
