Some code of the old interface has been removed so I had to apply some of your patches manually and tried to reinsert the removed code to be able to compile. I did this quickly so I suppose I forgot to re-add some code. After compiling kernel and hostapd, hostapd complains the same that before with this error message more : rmdir[ctrl_interface]: No such file or directory And stops here. So I think, you will have to do one more patch for the rc2, ... Tell me if I am wrong, but your patches "just" keep the old interface, master mode code and others previously removed. So, new code will have to be done to re-enable master mode and a driver_mac80211.c (rather than a driver_deviscape.c) will have to be done for hostapd ?
