nevermind. i thought of this as an option as well.

but isn't doing a memmove() quite inefficient? especially since we are dealing 
with QoS packets that might be important.

another solution i thought of was signalling the mac80211 layer that we need 
padding which could then just adjust it's headerlen. but then different 
drivers might need different padding in different places (i don't know?). 
what do you think of this approach?
