Yes, this adds two nl80211 commands (NEW_BA and DEL_BA)
https://cozybit1.dnsalias.org/~andrey/patches/001-add-ba-session-command-nl80211.patch
and this adds corresponding "station addba" and "station delba"
options for them to iw:
https://cozybit1.dnsalias.org/~andrey/patches/002-iw-add-nl80211-ba-commands.patch

With the current code, I am not sure if it's ever intended that user
space has the ability to initiate and tear down BA sessions, so this
may or may not be useful to others.  Right now I am using them to test
BA initiation and teardown and I suspect that they may be useful to,
for example, hostapd in the future.

Please let me know what you think.  Thanks,

  -Andrey
