would that not break the kernel if you run it with an older version of 
hostapds, unless we add 2 APIs for this in parallel, which would be 
undesirable ? I see your point but the current patchset makes the 
feature aligned with what we already have. Also keep in mind that there 
are !mac80211 drivers out there and hostapd can run on !linux systems.
