I tend to copy it over before applying new patches, so feel free to send
patches w/o nl80211.h changes included (but I can deal with this too).

This no longer works against wireless-testing, because some
NL80211_ATTR_SURVEY_INFO has changed the number from 53 to 54
(in wireless-testing). So before/after appyling, nl80211.h
should be harmonized between iw and wireless-testing.
