Thanks, applied (though, nl80211_copy.h update replaced with a different
commit since I only update it directly based on wireless-next.git
snapshots).

In addition, calling these "selectors" is really confusing since IEEE
802.11 uses many different types of selectors. I renamed these to use
the actual full name, i.e., BSS membership selectors to avoid confusion.
