I already committed some performance fixes in OpenWrt that bring UDP
performance over a WDS link between an AR9344+AR9380 (Atheros DB120) and
an AR7242+AR9380 (TP-Link TL-WR2543ND) up to about 310-320 Mbit/s, when
doing Tx on the DB120 side. Reverse direction is slower, because AR7242
isn't as powerful as the AR9344.

These fixes do not touch ath9k, I only tweaked the network stack to
avoid redundant copying/reallocation of skb data.
