Sure, that sounds fine.  So, I guess the semantics of "adhoc" would be:

	* For cards which can create an IBSS, "adhoc" would always
	  create it.

	* For cards which cannot create an IBSS, "adhoc" would never
	  create it.

...and there would be no option for create/no-create.  Then "wi" would
then get "adhoc,flag0" for adhoc-demo mode, to match awi.  It would
probably be worth documenting which 802.11 mode names the media options
really map to (i.e. "adhoc" == "IBSS") in ifmedia(4).
