Hm yeah this seems very appealing, it should be noted that this is
called *very* often too right now because we call this for every
beacon. If we want to merge beacon hint and 11d stuff with the added
advantage to make new functionality available to cfg80211 it would
seem then to make sense to add some sort of beacon parser so we can
extend it later if needed.

But can fullmac cards send full beacon stuff somehow to cfg80211? Can
they send 11d stuff or would they have to try to build one? Or can
they realistically only send alpha2 stuff?
