Cover letter [RFT 0/4] mac80211 improvements

Here are a number of improvements for mac80211's virtual interface handling (master netdev, cleanups) and driver API (beaconing).

I have tested these patches on b43 in AP, STA and IBSS modes (communicating with my N810 or an AP) and have not seen any issues.

I would appreciate testing on other hardware (I can probably cover iwl4965, rt61pci and zd1211 next week), but I don't expect much trouble.
