This is all looking beter now, since I had a few requests for the last patch
I'll ask for some other things here without asking to negage the flag purpose
as I originally wanted.

Please rename to REGULATORY_IGNORE_STALE_KICKOFF, also please add
some information about the amount current of grace period used,
and types of interfaces supported. Since this is a regulatory flag
this information will help folks decide whether to enable or not.
Also encourage its use, and mention that once all supported devices
get support for this will be enabled by default. In the meantime
I'd prefer if this feature was enabled by default if the supported
interface types of a dveice match the white list of supported
interfaces.
