I suppose it'd be easier if we did that along with the HT enabling in
wpa_supplicant/ap.c, no?

Seems more configuration specific than vendor specific, so maybe it
should be possible to configure those in wpa_s's config. I don't think
pointing to a hostapd config would be a good idea, but things could be
added to wpa_s's config instead and put into the right ap mode config
struct in the code.
