Btw, you can send a filter down when you do request the data, so you
only get the data for the new wiphy you actually just discovered.

So realistically, vs. your suggestion of sending all of the data in
multiple events, that just adds 2 messages (the request and the data you
already had), which isn't nearly as bad as you paint it.
