Please review. The only thing that isn't quite clear to me is
whether or not I can really remove the channel == oper_channel
check, but it's only applied to probe resp/beacon frames so it
seems a bit pointless to try to keep it?

For what it's worth, I don't see any problems with the patches.

Another enhancement I was thinking about would be to allow
vifs to piggy-back on other vif's scans.  Instead of
returning EBUSY when another vif is already scanning, just
register to receive the scanning vif's results when it finishes.

Thanks,
Ben
