What's the point of adding more ioctls that we'll be implementing them
as wrappers around nl80211? Right now, those new ioctls/options aren't
implemented in *any* driver at all so they're completely useless, and
just add more to the pile of historic baggage we end up carrying around.
If we add these to mainline now, it's another thing we'll have to carry
for a long time even though it currently has no users...
I don't know about the others, but long/short retry limits have users
(e.g., Host AP driver) and these drivers are currently forced to use a
hack to do this without this cleanup. Furthermore, this part does not
add a new ioctl.
