You really just want to do the minimal thing, right? :)
That won't work when userspace disables the beacon by removing it, for
instance, right now drivers won't know when hostapd removed the beacon
except that ieee80211_beacon_get will start returning 0... Also, I think
a separate change flag would be appropriate, sometimes we might just
re-enable the beacon without having changed it, after scanning?
