Yeah, this is troublesome, but at least it can be automated...

Is it possible to have uci-defaults/ to fix those on upgrade (i.e. when 
it detects ar71xx-style traces in the system)?  As well as the wmac path?

Because a _lot_ of people will need to do ar71xx->ath79.

Of course, it could be config-based, so that those who don't need it, 
don't waste any FLASH/RAM.
