In nl80211_trigger_scan, if rdev->scan_req is != NULL,

the VIF that said "I want scan results too."
Then, when whatever is scanning is finished, it would send
scan results to all interested vifs.
But the scans results could technically be different
if they've been done on a different interface. Besides,
you can handle it in userspace. You've been trying for
weeks to avoid changing your userspace by changing the
kernel, which is still the wrong approach.
I just attempted to start wpa_supplicant to control 30
STAs. It still seems to scan sequentially.
I guess I need to hack wpa_supplicant to cache scan
results?
