Johannes Berg bc79109896 mac80211_hwsim: allow creating/destroying radios on the fly
Add new commands to the hwsim generic netlink family to allow
creating and destroying radios on the fly. The number of channels
a radio supports can be specified when it's created, if it isn't
the module parameter will be used as default.

This should be extended in the future to allow other parameters
to be specified, e.g.
 * list of channels
 * interface combinations, particularly P2P_DEVICE support
 * regtest
 * and pretty much all other hardware capabilities

/**
* DOC: Frame transmission/registration support
*
* Frame transmission and registration support exists to allow userspace
* entities such as wmediumd to receive and process all broadcasted
* frames from a mac80211_hwsim radio device.
*
* This allow user space applications to decide if the frame should be
* dropped or not and implement a wireless medium simulator at user space.
*
* Registration is done by sending a register message to the driver and
* will be automatically unregistered if the user application doesn't
* responds to sent frames.
* Once registered the user application has to take responsibility of
* broadcasting the frames to all listening mac80211_hwsim radio
* interfaces.
*
* For more technical details, see the corresponding command descriptions
* below.
