This allows users to disable features such as HT, HT40,
and to modify the MCS, AMPDU, and AMSDU settings for
drivers that support it.
The MCS, AMPDU, and AMSDU features that may be disabled are
are reported in the phy-info netlink message as a mask.
Attemping to disable features that are not supported will
take no affect, but will not return errors. This is to aid
backwards compatibility in user-space apps that may not be
clever enough to deal with parsing the the capabilities mask.
This patch only enables the infrastructure. An additional
patch will enable the feature in mac80211.

v7: Add detailed comments about what is supported in the
HT_CAPABILITY_MASK attribute.
Add call to cfg80211_oper_and_ht_capa() in the
__cfg80211_connect path to make sure non mac80211
drivers get proper masking.
Damn, I messed this up. Hold for v8.
Thanks,
Ben
