[RFCv2 4/4] nl80211: Send large new_wiphy events

[Denis Kenzior <denkenz@gmail.com>]

Send large NEW_WIPHY events on a new multicast group so that clients
that can accept larger messages do not need to round-trip to the kernel
and perform extra filtered wiphy dumps.

A new multicast group is introduced and the large message is sent before
the legacy message.  This way clients that listen on both multicast
groups can ignore duplicate legacy messages if needed.
