Well, the alpha2 hint from country IE we'd built it from the IE
and then try call an rd hint routine, I take it now it would be the new
struct one. OK -- in that one we have the wiphy. In that case that
routine needs to be updated to check to see if the initiator is
country IE and if so mark XXX do to intersection.

Then the reason I kept the wiphy around for the regular alpha2 case is
you will want to keep track if a different wiphy sent this new alpha2
request. If so I think we do interesection then, or let the user disable
one or something.

But yea its useful to keep track of I think. I thought you didn't remove
it from ignore_request(), hm.. that's where we use it to do all these
checks.
