I've just upload my current hostapd patches here:
https://www.awhome.eu/index.php/s/FZx68eGMGbwf6EK

These are slightly updated versions of the patches I send to the hostapd 
mailing list used in my tests. I'm using them since months in mixed 
environments with and without Extennded Key ID support.
Once the nl80211 API stabilizes I'll plan to polish them, fill in the 
known gaps and try to get them merged.

I did run the the existing PTK tests but proper tests for Extended Key 
ID are the biggest open topic. I suspect proper tests will the most 
complicated open task here.

The others are:
- No support for Extended Key ID in mesh mode
- Update to new kernel API (the one we extended for Extended KEY ID) 
needs some more work.
- Make sure we do not install the keys twice when repeating either EAPOL 
3 or 4 (I think one of them was ok, but I did not look at that for 
ages... It's still working fine, mac80211 detects a duplicate key 
install and just reports success.)
