Using the software based channel scan mechanism from mac80211 keeps us
offline for 10-15 second, we should instead issue a start_scan/end_scan
on each channel reducing this time.

It's been a while since I posted this as an RFC, I have not received any
comments on the code but we've been running it in the Linaro kernel with good
results and possitive user feedback for quite some time.
So I'm hoping we can merge it, as it solves the #1 complaint we had with users;
where NetworkManager (or something similar) would stall and time out their
connections by scanning for networks every now and then.
