Linux 2.6.24 introduces a sysctl checker that disallows using arbitrary
ctl_name values for sysctl entries. The entries with non-standard
values should set ctl_name to CTL_UNNUMBERED.
On the other hand, using consistent non-zero ctl_name values is required
for older kernels (tested on Linux 2.4.33.3 from Slackware 11).
Thus the solution is to use CTL_UNNUMBERED on Linux 2.6.24+ and the
original values in the older kernels. Move CTL_AUTO and DEV_ATH to
include/compat.h and define them correspondingly.
When copying sysctl entries, check procname for being non-zero, since
ctl_name is zero (CTL_UNNUMBERED) on Linux 2.6.24 and newer.
For the same reason, don't use ctl_name to distinguish entries in
ath_sysctl_template, use extra2 instead.

We just need to ignore these, as the sample rate control algorithm will recover quickly.
Previously, after a channel switch due to radar or command line channel change, we would see lots of error messages spewed to the logs about invalid rate indexes from the sample alg. This just squelches those messages.

Linux 2.6.24 has a sysctl table checker that rejects the tables
presented by the driver. Make the code survive this condition. Free
devname (or dev_name) before freeing the table. Don't do it at the
unregister time, it's too late.
The sysctl tables still need to be fixed.

SET_MODULE_OWNER() is not defined in 2.6.24, but it's already a no-op in
2.6.23. Make sure that it will be a no-op in 2.6.23 and newer kernels.

This value is roughly around the value that other devices are setting. The previous value appeared to be stupidly high.
This may solve some interactivity problems and machine performance issues.
