No, I really did mean implementing the entire PS logic in the driver,
instead of having mac80211 do it.

We could, but I *really* don't want to patch over the messy and broken
powersave code in mac80211 now.

I really do think that the only way out of this mess is to implement
powersave entirely outside of mac80211; perhaps mac80211 could provide
helpers for it, but tying it into the MLME implementation and having
all the PS-Poll stuff be global etc. is simply wrong today.
