Frankly, I don't think that's going to work well. We tried using the
pm_qos framework once and nothing ever used it. Android isn't going to
change to it, so we'd be stuck with hacks like setting pm_qos in
wpa_supplicant which is just as awkward.

Also, what you mostly want isn't really so much a weight but rather a
time-based approach to give it high priority until the connection
handshake completes (we already do for auth/assoc/... until authorized)
so I think using the pm_qos framework to give priority wouldn't work
very well since there'd also be no way to tell when it was "done"
