This has the benefit of allowing us to pull the code but that also
means less code dumped into compat. As I see it I want it to be the
other way around, more stuff moved to compat.git given that this means
others can make more use of a general compatibility framework. If
compat-wireless itself becomes more of a compat-kernel, which I'm
happy to do but I think we'd need more subsystem developers willing to
do this, then I see the benefit of sucking in the code but for now I
see more gains the other way around. But perhaps there are some
benefits I may be missing?
