Subject: [RFC] mac80211: make ieee80211_find_sta per virtual interface

Since we have a TODO item to make all station
management dependent on virtual interfaces, I
figured I'd start with pushing such a change
to drivers before more drivers use this kind
of functionality...

The iwlwifi bits are easy, but I don't know
what to do about the ath9k bits. Any ideas?

Not sure but I just wanted to point out the that the sc->hw above here
was wrong anyway for virtual wiphy support, this should instead
probably look for the aphy with ath_get_virt_hw() as is done with
ath_rx_prepare().

And upon further investigation one way to do this is something as below. I did this
as a test as I needed to answer the question of "who does this skb belong to" for
virtual wiphy purposes. The question of who it belongs to is not that important but
the more important thing is to determine the appropriate ieee80211_hw and the mode
of operation the hw should use to behave for the skb. ath9k uses the sc->sc_ah->opmode
in many places and it was to be determined how we'd update this for virtual wiphys.
To answer that you need to determine either the minimum hw configuration your device
needs to operate under to allow all current virtual wiphys to operate properly
or just determine the vif we are to use. Either way it turns out these questions
are not easy to answer from the driver.

A simple question like: "do we have monitor vif?" is not an easy question to answer
for mac80211 drivers as such, as this patch should illustrate, we should perhaps
consider moving more of the virtual wiphy implementation to mac80211/cfg80211 or
as you have put it -- just bring the vif capability to be on its own channel.
