Since (QoS) NDP frames shouldn't be put into aggregation nor are
assigned real sequence numbers, etc. it's better to treat them as
non-data packets and not put them on the normal TXQs, for example
when building A-MPDUs they need to be treated specially,
To be treated specially at which layer, mac80211 or drivers?
Are you seeing any issues other than complexity of handling NDP or is it 
just improvement?

Thanks,
