Well. cfg80211 will replace the common wext ioctls. All the private wext
ioctls will not be handled there.

The rationale is that
 (1) it doesn't delete priv ioctls, they'll still work for the migration
     period
 (2) you can't rely on private ioctls having a certain meaning for each
     driver, ie. other drivers are free the reassign numbers of
     sub-ioctls
 (3) any behaviour that is generally useful should be standardised.
