Generally we move things that are not universal as flags, or value
attributes, the difficulty here lies in that we'd get different sets
of groups that allow flexibility to lift restrictions. A flag would
still work in the case of UNII 3 and would enable this permissive rule
to be usable on other bands as well. It would also then make the
restriction to Indonesia specific to that region. As far as I can tell
P2P does mandate country IE to be set so this would make relying on
the country IE to be available on clients associating, the flag could
also be cleared upon disconnect as we clear all permissive flags as we
do not after a disconnect /  suspend / resume / reboot.

Let me know what you think.
