Ok, applied.

I made two small changes (and inserted a patch in the middle to allow
for those changes).

One change is that I inverted the polarity of the "flush" feature flag
so that userspace can check if it's supported without having to worry
about the kernel version.

The other change is a fix in mac80211 to only set the "low prio" support
flag if *software* scan is used, not unconditionally.

Please make sure those still work for you, I haven't tested it.

It might be nice to also have a low-prio/flush flags patch for iw as
well if you find the time.
