When you post the driver for upstream we can talk about it. I have no
interest in it otherwise - but
(a) you can't call cfg80211 from the driver and then have cfg80211 call
mac80211
- that's a gross layering violation
(b) if you're offloading much, you're probably not using a lot of
mac80211 and
should come with a proposal to refactor the code
