Hi Johannes,

Not sure if I understand the question. I am using wpa_supplicant with 
wpa_cli for testing and given its p2p support I assumed there is already 
a nl80211 api in place. I am still trying to get a good sense on it. The 
P2P code to port does more parsing of P2P stuff and if you mean adding 
userspace APIs to avoid just that I would definitely prefer that.
