nohwcrypt=1 module parameter can now be used to disable hardware
crypto in ath9k. While the hardware acceleration handles most cases,
it may be useful to be able to force mac80211 software implementation
to be used for some tests, e.g., with virtual interface combinations
that may not yet be supported in the key cache configuration. In
addition, this allows management frame protection to be tested with
older hardware revisions.
