Um, no, how about:
	2) move the driver to use the mac80211 layer

Don't try to emulate the existing core debugfs functionality, it will be
a constantly loosing proposition of keeping it in sync.  As the driver
needs to be moved to us the layer in order to get out of the staging
tree, might as well work on that first, right?
