No psm with if_ath on current

I sent this off to current@ over aweek ago with no response. It's way too
far into the kernel glop for me to have any idea what might be going on,
but I can confirm that I still see in on a current system updated on
Oct. 15.

If I boot with if_ath loaded, my laptop does not find the mouse. If I
load if_ath after boot, everything seems to be fine.

I am running on a Lenovo T43. No APIC since that used to break it, but I
plan to try apic again soon as it has had some work done to it recently.

I compared 'boot -v' output I found some big clues as to what is
happening, but I am not sure if I am seeing a cause or an effect.

First, the diff:

Loads the kernel at a much higher address when ath is loaded. I have no
idea why or if it has any significance.

Well, ath_rate and ath_hal probe when they are loaded and I/O probes at
a slightly different point, but it does not look significant.

I have no idea what, if anything this means.

if_ath is loaded and probes the card as expected.

Slightly different mapping, but probably of no significance.

psm only is probed if if_ath is not.

The final one is acpi_ibm0. When ath is loaded, it grabs IRQ12 which
should handle psm0. If ath is not present, it is already tied to psm0
and acpi_ibm lists no IRQ at all. With or without an IRQ, it seems to
work fine.

I don't know exactly when this first showed up as I don't often boot
with if_ath loaded...mostly whan on travel...as I have other stuff
(profile.sh) which loads it only as needed when I am at home or in an
office. 

Can anyone suggest what might be going on here?

I'd be happy to provide other data if you can tell me what would help.
