I need to say that I really used multiple monitors at the same time on
one phy only and I did that with hwsim to run multiple user space
stacks. It was working and I was happy and didn't need to do a lot of
phy creations in hwsim.
Indeed, looking at the code, you could use as many MONITOR interfaces
you needed, but only a single NODE. I've changed that to use as many
NODE and COORD that we wish.
Be careful there, there is a reason why we don't allow this and this
has to do with support of multiple address filters... but here it
depends also what you mean with "use".

I need to admit, you can achieve the same behaviour of multiple user
space stacks and one monitor, _but_ you can easily filter the traffic
if you do it per interface...
