Is the above_threshold value going to be filled by some drivers?
driver_nl80211.c (the only one implementing signal_poll currently) fills
it only for events. I guess it would be possible to store the value from
the last event internally in driver_nl80211.c and then fill it in here
if that piece of information is considered useful.

As far as the field names are concerned, RSSI may be somewhat confusing
since this is a signed 8-bit value in dBm at least as far as nl80211 is
concerned. The THRESHOLD name is even more confusing ;-).
