I guess writing a dummy wireless driver with just some printk()'s and
some test userland programs to make sure the data goes to and
from the handlers with the proper layout is thinking way too far
outside the box for you.

Since you're not interested proactively doing things and everyone else
is also pushing the problem away from themselves I'll fix all of this.

Nothing using iw_point in these request objects can possibly work in
compat situations, for example.  I think it works by accident on
little-endian.
