Wow...that is one busted patch...  Please avoid using editors that
convert tabs to whitespace.  Probably also need to account for existing
IEEE80211_SCAN_MATCH_SSID behavior...?

Still, the general idea looks fine and I'd really like to make
wpa_supplicant and mac80211 work together with hidden APs.  I'll fix-up
the patch and post it as a follow-up to this message...

P.S.  Is limiting this to STA mode correct?  Would wpa_supplicant
ever set that flag for an IBSS?
