I'd prefer not advertising the command, since so far we've only
advertised supported commands as supported -- a new nl80211 flag would
be nicer I think.

Come to think of it, maybe it's time to bundle capability flags
together. We seem to acquire new ones all the time, so maybe we should
have a HW_CAPABILITY nl80211 attribute that can simply grow as
needed ...
