This allows a user to configure a wifi station interface
to disable 802.11n, even if the AP and NIC supports it.

The additional netlink bits is to allow this patch to work on 3.0
and should not be included in the final patch.

I have the wpa_supplicant patches for this series tested as well,
but I figured it best to make sure these kernel patches are acceptable
before posting the hostap patches....

Tested this on ath9k.  According to the rate output seen by
iwconfig and the debug stuff in
cat /debug/ieee80211/wiphy0/netdev\:sta2/stations/00\:88\:99\:88\:99\:01/ht_capa
I think I have this working pretty well.

I have not yet tried verifying things with a sniffer...

Thanks,
Ben
