What are you planning to use this for? I'm not really sure I see the
need for an exported function? Is it not going to just be set the same
for all interfaces?

Out of the many netdev feature bits, we can handle maybe a handful in
mac80211, so I'm worried this API will suggest to people they can look
at netdev_features.h...
