I think some people were using virtual wiphy to work around some issues
with vifs, but that is not really useful from the view point of fixing
any issues with vifs that may remain.. As far as the support for
multiple channel operations is concerned, that will hopefully be added
to vifs at some point and the experimental code I added for virtual
wiphys is really very much in the experimental side.
Even though I have been somewhat against removing this before vifs get
multi-channel support, I think I would be fine with getting rid of the
current virtual wiphy implementation now with the justification being
that it will help addressing other fixes and improvements.
