I played with it a bit, and came up with this:

It has the small advantage that the patch is smaller and doesn't need to
know about the attributes ... A disadvantage is the runtime overhead on
module load and the extra memory.

As we discussed on IRC, the #else part is only needed to not have to
#ifdef the init_ieee80211_attrs() call, it might very well be better to
ifdef that and get rid of the #else part to avoid having to copy part of
the ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS definition. Not really sure.
