Its based on our internal regulatory policy for our hardware. If you have
a alpha2 map you should disregard the country IE. If you have a world regdom
you can follow the IE (but not enable more). Technically I think that without
this things may work now to respect the original driver stuff though with the
new orig_* changes, will need to test.
