How would you design implementing support secure peer links? It seems
that to do that much of the mesh bookkeeping would need to be done by
wpa_supplicant instead of the kernel. In fact, maybe it should always do
it and much of this code be migrated into wpa_supplicant's userspace
MLME?

Peer link establishment, mesh path updating etc. could all be done in
wpa_supplicant's userspace MLME, no? If we add all this to the kernel
now, would we have to reimplement it in the userspace MLME to support
secure peer links?
