Thanks, applied with minor changes.

Agreed. However, I want to make the new 0.2 stable branch before these
changes. After this, we can continue doing changes in the development
branch (CVS trunk) and I'm more open to experimental code being added.
Though, I would rather not add a new directory to make the build system
more complex at this point.

Yes, indeed. hostapd_ioctl() and hostap_ioctl_*() functions should
disappear from the exported interface and only used within
(hostap_)driver.c. Luckily, these have quite limited use outside
driver.c, so this does not require that much changes.
