I'm not convinced.

What you're doing here is *extremely* vague. No definitions of what
this means, no description of how it's intended to be implemented, no
note even on whether or not this is for full-MAC chips or not, etc.

At least for mac80211, we can define signals to userspace regarding
"link quality" and make decisions in wpa_s then?

Those changes obviously don't belong into this patch anyway.
