It does, however, add new parameters and things that'd need to be
translated in the compat layer later. Hence, even there, I'd prefer to
add them directly into nl80211. However, the compat code for that
shouldn't be that bad, so I can see that as a softer target :) But I
don't want to see new ioctls for sure.
