IMO, changes like this are important and overdue, however, do keep in
mind the provenance of this code: NetBSD -> FreeBSD.

Maybe you have written off ever re-synching with FreeBSD?  If so, do
you have a plan for integrating useful features like virtual stations
independently of their code?

I have said it before, that I do think the "concept architecture" of
802.11 VAP is rather broken, but let's be honest: nobody, especially not
I, have had the time in 10+ years to independently implement anything
comparable. *shrug*
