Is it really necessary to export this to user space, at least via
nl80211? If we add this to nl80211, we have to support this almost
forever.
Also how are planning to use this? What components will use the
interface and how?
My concern here is that we will end up having, yet again, complicated
user space interface for power save. The ideal situation would be that
kernel would configure all this automatically and we would have a
simple interface just to disable power save in cases where it doesn't
work (broken APs etc).
