The getdevpathintvar and getintvar are for extracting these values
from nvram instead of SPROM - remember that embedded bcm47xx devices
are "sprom"-less and have these values stored in nvram. Since there is
only one global nvram, you need to prefix these values with the
"pci/sb" device path to differentiate if you have more than one wifi
chip (e.g. "sb/1/boardflags" or "pci/1/boardflags"). But this isn't
necessarily done for single wifi devices, hence the getdevpathintvar
-> getinvar path (as the fall back).
