This set of patches adds support for IEEE 802.11w (management frame
protection) into mac80211. It is up-to-date with the latest IEEE 802.11w
draft (D7.0) and I do not expect any major changes to IEEE 802.11w
anymore.
This version is ready to be applied into wireless-testing. It is against
wireless-testing + CSA patch from Sujith + PS patches from Johannes.
Differences to PATCH v1:
- introduce a mechanism for drivers to indicate that they are MFP capable
and allow user space programs to figure out whether MFP can be used
- mark ath9k MFP capable
- mark mac80211_hwsim MFP capable
- rebase against PS patches from Johannes (one of them allocated a new
driver hw flag that would have conflicted with an allocation for MFP)

Looks all good to me, thanks for doing the flag and rebasing.
For the mac80211 part (haven't looked at ath9k in detail):
